Flitter Family History
Flitter Name Meaning
English: perhaps an occupational name derived from Middle English flitten ‘to convey transport remove (something)’. Reaney and Wilson's suggested derivation from Middle English fliter (Old English flītere) ‘wrangler scold’ seems doubtful. This would give flighter in modern English (i.e. with a long vowel compare Flight ) whereas the -tt- in the surname forms implies a short vowel.
