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.
