Comer Family History
Comer Name Meaning
English: occupational name from Middle English combere,
an agent derivative of Old English camb ‘comb’, referring
perhaps to a maker or seller of combs, or to someone who used them to
prepare wool or flax for spinning. This was an alternative process to
carding, and caused the wool fibers to lie more or less parallel to
one another, so that the cloth produced had a hard, smooth finish
without a nap.English: variant of Coomber.Probably an Americanized spelling of German Kommer or
Kammer.
