Bannister Family History
Bannister Name Meaning
English: metonymic occupational name for a basket weaver, from
Anglo-Norman French banastre ‘basket’ (the result of a Late
Latin cross between Gaulish benna and Greek kanistron).
The term denoting a stair rail is unconnected with this name; it was
not used before the 17th century.
