Chambers Family History
Chambers Name Meaning
English: occupational name for someone who was employed in the
private living quarters of his master, rather than in the public halls
of the manor. The name represents a genitive or plural form of Middle
English cha(u)mbre ‘chamber’, ‘room’ (Latin camera), and
is synonymous in origin with Chamberlain, but as that office
rose in the social scale, this term remained reserved for more humble
servants of the bedchamber.
