Ostricer Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from an official title. 'the ostricer,' a falconer. Dame Julyan Berners says, 'Ye shall understonde that they ben called Ostregeres that kepe goshawkes or tercelles' (edit. 1496, Bk. iii. I dare not hazard a guess at its origin, but the earliest form is Ostricer. This became Ostriger. 'John Woodde, one of the Ostregers of ower soveregyn Lord' (30 Henry VIII; v. Notes and Queries, 1885). This same individual is styled in a deed a fortnight earlier, 'Oistrynger' (ibid). Shakespeare has it ostringer. Astringer and Ostringer are natural corruptions (compare Pottinger from Potager, messenger from messager, &c). Ostringer occurs in Blount's Gloss. (Halliwell).
