Pastor Family History
Pastor Name Meaning
English, Portuguese, Galician, Spanish, Catalan, and French:
occupational name for a shepherd, Anglo-Norman French pastre
(oblique case pastour), Portuguese, Galician, Spanish, Catalan,
pastor ‘shepherd’, from Latin pastor, an agent
derivative of pascere ‘to graze’. The religious sense of a
spiritual leader was rare in the Middle Ages, and insofar as it occurs
at all it seems always to be a conscious metaphor; it is unlikely,
therefore, that this sense lies behind any examples of the surname.German and Dutch: humanistic name, a Latinized form of
various vernacular names meaning ‘shepherd’, for example Hirt
or Schäfer (see Schafer).Americanized
spelling of Hungarian Pásztor, an occupational name from
pásztor ‘shepherd’.
