Chancellor Name Meaning
English and Scottish: status name for a secretary or administrative
official, from Old French chancelier, Late Latin
cancellarius ‘usher (in a law court)’. The King’s Chancellor
was one of the highest officials in the land, but the term was also
used to denote the holder of a variety of offices in the medieval
world, such as the secretary or record keeper in a minor manorial
household. In some cases the name undoubtedly originated as a nickname
or as an occupational name for someone in the service of such an
official.
