Trimmer Family History
Trimmer Name Meaning
English: occupational name, probably for a trimmer of cloth. The
verb trim is not attested in its modern sense before the early
16th century, but the surname form William le Trymmere is found in the
14th century, and this seems to be continuous with Old English
trymian, trymman ‘to strengthen or confirm’ (from
trum ‘strong’, ‘firm’).
