Causer Family History

Causer Surname Meaning

English (West Midlands): probably a variant of Chauser, an occupational name for a maker of leggings or other apparel for the legs or feet from an agent derivative probably of a northern variant of Old French cauc(i)er chaucier ‘maker of hose, shoemaker’ although Cauc(i)er, the Norman and Picard form of the name, has not yet been noted in English medieval records.

Alternatively, perhaps a variant of Cosier, an occupational name from Middle English cosere ‘horse dealer’.
