Childers Family History
Childers Name Meaning
English: probably a habitational name from some lost place called Childerhouse from Old English cildra genitive plural of cild ‘child’ + hūs ‘house’. This may have referred to some form of orphanage perhaps run by a religious order or perhaps the first element is to be understood in its later sense as a term of status (see Child ).
