Fuller Name Meaning
English: occupational name for a dresser of cloth, Old English
fullere (from Latin fullo, with the addition of the
English agent suffix). The Middle English successor of this word had
also been reinforced by Old French fouleor, foleur, of
similar origin. The work of the fuller was to scour and thicken the
raw cloth by beating and trampling it in water. This surname is found
mostly in southeast England and East Anglia. See also Tucker
and Walker.In a few cases the name may be of German
origin with the same form and meaning as 1 (from Latin
fullare).Americanized version of French
Fournier.
