Tondeur Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from an occupation. 'the tunder,' i.e. a vintner, a winetunner, one who poured wine into barrels or tuns. Hence such terms as 'tunnel' or 'tun-dish,' the vessel used for transferring the wine from cask to bottle (v. my English Surnames). For further information, v. Tunneler and Aletunner.

Edmund le Tunder, bailiff of Norwich, 1237: History of Norfolk.

Hugh le Tundur, 1273. Hundred Rolls.

Richard le Tundur. Excerpta e Rotulis Finium in Turri Londinensi.

John de Northfolk, tounder, 8 Edward III: Freemen of York.

It was inevitable that an imitative variant in the shape of Thunder should arise after the meaning of the surname Tunder had become forgotten. Indeed, it is only in this form that the name has survived. For modern instances, v. Thunder. Lower's and Ferguson's suggestion that Thunder is a personal name and that it is an alias of Thor, the Jupiter-tonans of Northern mythology, cannot be upheld.
