Cutler Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from an occupation. 'the cutler,' a maker of knives, &c. A curiously common entry, whether as surname or trade-name, in Yorkshire Poll Tax, 1379. From its frequency I should have expected a larger number of Cutlers in the present directories of that county.
Saleman le Cotiler, London, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
Matilda la Cutiller, Lincolnshire ibid.
Ricardus Hyngham, cotteter, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Willelmus Cottelar, 1379: ibid.

From the occupation of knife-maker (ME. cutyler, coteler, OF. cotelier). Matthew de Coteleir of Berwick rendered homage in 1296 (RR.). A Galloway surname. The Cutlers of Orroland, parish of Rerwick, are said to have obtained the lands from the monks of Dundrennan Abbey in 1437. The local tradition is that the first of the Cutlers who came to the parish was employed in sharpening the tools of the masons engaged in the erection of the abbey and thereby acquired their name (M'Kerlie, V, p. 104). This is most improbable. There is no mention of the family until 1606 when John Cuidar was served heir to his father in Oroland (Retours, Kirkcudbright, 68). The surname occurs in Aberdeen in 1460 (CRA., p. 405).

Cuidar 1648, Cuthlar 1466, Cutlair 1511, Cudare 1508.
