Clouter Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

The Promptorium Parvulorum gives-"Clowter, or coblere, sartorius," and also "Clowter of clothys, sartorius, sartor." Hence a Clouter was a man who either improved the ' understanding,' or mended the ' habits ' of his customers; i.e. either a cobbler or a tailor; probably the former.
