Medlar Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a nickname. An obtrusive person, a busybody.
Nicholas de Medler, Salop, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
(2) Local, 'of Medlar,' a township in the parish of Kirkham, Lancashire.
Richard de Medler, Salop, Henry III-Edward I: Testa de Nevill, sive Liber Feodorum, temp. Henry III-Edward I.
1640. John Hicks and Anne Medler: Marriage Lic. (London).
Mr. Ferguson thinks that this name corresponds to the Germ, family name Madler, which is probably identical with the Old German Madalhari; but the occurrence in H.R. of one Nich. le Medler rather tends to shew that the name was originally applied to some medieval busybody.
Medler occurs as a U.S. name; and Nich. le Medler is found in H.R. There is also an Old German, Madalhari, and a Modern German, Madler. Förstemann refers the Old German names Madalo and Madelint to the Goth, mathl, an assembly, deliberation; and Madalhari may be from mathl-her, which would translate "a counsellor;" but Le Medler seems to refer to some occupation, and may be derived from German mittler, a mediator; Danish, midler, Swedish, medlare (German, mittlere, mitte, middle).
