Skudder Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from an occupation. Probably an immigrant from Holland, equivalent to English Shooter.
1604. Married — Robert Skutter and Goodwith White: St. Mary Aldermary (London).
1690. Baptised — Anne, d. Robert Scudder: Canterbury Cath.
(Teutonic), formerly (1604) Skutter, is doubtless the Dutch schutter (sch- almost as sk-), ‘a shooter’, ‘marksman’, ‘archer’: if the orig. form were really ‘Skudder’ it would represent the Dutch schudder, ‘a shaker’, from schudden, ‘to shake'.
In O. Scottish to scud is to quaff. Hence, probably, the first Mr. Scudder was addicted to potations.
