North German (Schröder): occupational name for a cloth
cutter or tailor, from an agent derivative of Middle Low German
schroden, schraden ‘to cut’. The same term was
occasionally used to denote a gristmiller as well as a shoemaker,
whose work included cutting leather, and also a drayman, one who
delivered beer and wine in bulk to customers; in some instances the
surname may have been acquired in either of these senses. AB This
name is widespread throughout central and eastern Europe.
