Fleischer Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(German) One who cut and sold meats, a butcher.
(from an ancestor's occupation) It is the German word for “butcher” or “meat dealer.” The trade of butcher was very important in the Middle Ages. First of all, it was the source of supply of kosher meat, which was the only kind available to Jews, for religious reasons. Secondly, the butchers in the ghettos of medieval Europe were often an unofficial Jewish army and self-defense group, since they were the only ones familiar with the handling of knives and axes.
