Pelissier Name Meaning
French (Pélissier): from Old French pellice ‘fur
cloak’ (Late Latin pellicia from pellis ‘skin’, ‘fur’),
hence an occupational name for a maker of fur garments or a nickname
for someone who wore furs. The surname was taken to Britain by
Huguenot refugees; Reaney and Wilson mention a Huguenot, Abel
Pelessier, who settled in Ireland.
