Stammer Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

A stammerer. "Balbus, stamur." Wright's Vocab., p. 75.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

This name might certainly be an English rendering of the Roman name Balbus, but it is more probably derived from a local name. It may be a corruption of the surname Starmer, perhaps from Sturmer, a parish co. Essex, or Stormere co. Leicester; or from the surname Stanmer, from Stanmer, a parish co. Sussex. J. Stammers, Esq., barrister-at-law, considers his name to be of Dutch or German origin, and thinks that Stammensdorff, a local name mentioned in Alison's History, may give a due. Stammers would easily corrupt from St. Audomarus (whence St. Omer), doubtless the same as Audomer or Aumer, from which Pont Audemer had its name. (U.S. Stamer, Stemmer, Stainers).
