Stonier Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from an occupation. 'the stone-hewer,' a stonemason or quarryman. Similarly we find Woodhewer, Fleshhewer (which see), Blockhewer, and Blocker; compare 'hewers of wood' (Authorized Version). My first instance is no doubt a misreading:

Thomas Stonhewaa, Oxfordshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.

Richard Stonhewer. History of Durham.

1605. John Stonehewer or Stonier, of Barleyford, Cheshire: Wills at Chester.

1638. George Stonier, of Odd Rode: ibid.

1792. Married — Charles Edward Pigon and Charlotte Rycroft; witness, Richard Stonhewer: St. George, Hanover Square.

A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

= Stoner (q.v.), but with the Anglo-French agential suff. -ier instead of English -er.

This name was occasionally used for Stone- hewer, q.v.
