Pember Surname
Approximately 1,905 people bear this surname
Pember Surname Definition:
There is no trace of this being an English local name; otherwise it could represent an Old English pin-bearu, ‘pine-grove.’ Nor does it seem to be Cymric. In all probability it is the descendant of an Anglo-Saxon fem. name *Pendburh; this appears all the more likely from the occurrence of the English place-name Pemberton.
