This interesting surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin,
and is from an occupational name for a bird-catcher
or hunter of wild birds. In the medieval period a
fowler would have been an important position, and
all major houses would have employed one. The
derivation is from the Olde English pre 7th Century
"fugelere", hunter of wild birds.
