Ettery Family History

Ettery Surname Meaning

of uncertain origin. It might be a variant of Attree; compare Jane Attery 1833 in IGI (Langford Budville Somerset). But the evidence is too slight and too late to be convincing on its own.

Alternatively it could be a colloquial form of Etheridge but no evidence has been found to confirm this.
