Frame Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Several persons of this name ere recorded in the Commissariot Records of Campsie and of Lanerk. Adam Frame 1495. Arthur Fram, witness in Glasgow, 1551 (Protocols, I). Daniel Frame, burgess in Edinbergh, 1642 (Inquls., 2690), William Fram is recorded in parish of Calder, 1679 (Hanna, II, p. 252), and William fframe in Mauldslie was warded in the Canongate Tolbooth, Edinbergh, 1683 (BOEC., VIII, p. 155).
Though nowhere numerous even in England, and in Ireland not associated with any particular locality, the name Frame is on record in this country since the sixteenth century when one Robert Frame of Carrick-on-Suir was in the employment of the Earl of Ormond and in 1577 was a lessee on the Ormond estate. We meet it again 1664, this time in Co. Armagh where John Frame was a householder at Derrycughan, and twice in the Donegal hearth money rolls of the next year. A little later we find them in Cork, as three marriage licence bonds (the first is 1700) and wills of 1719 and 1726 attest. In the next century they are located in various parts of Ulster and in our own time the name has been prominent in the industrial life of Dublin.
