Subject: RE: [CHATER] Definition of the name CHATER
Dear List,
According to the Reader's Digest Encyclopedia, Chater derives from
"achateur" or "buyer" i.e. of foods for a large household. The words "cater"
and "caterer" could in some cases have derived from this job description. I
read somewhere else that all these come French "acheter" (to buy) which in
turn comes from the latin for to "capture" or "acquire" (capire?,
captivare?)
By the way, some of my ancestors were butchers.
Best wishes

Hello Chater listers ..
I have recently come across a couple of different definitions for the name
CHATER that I thought I would share with you.
According to one source I have found
"...........the meaning of the name CHATER is derived from the Armenian word
Adsvazaturian (presumably from its two middle syllables) a name meaning Gift
of God.........".
However, another source, The English and Welsh Surname Directory has the
following definition.
Chater, Chaytor - (1) Offic. 'the escheator' (?), one who inquired into
escheats. After the death of a tenant an inquiry was made, and if there was
failure of issue, the land escheated or lapsed to his lord. It was the same
after attainder for treason or felony. Possibly Cater (q.v.), but the above
is almost certainly the true derivation (v. Cheat in Skeat's Dictionary).
(2) Offic. 'the chater' v. Cater; of. Candler and Chandler, &c.
Henry Escaetor, co. Oxf., 1273. A. Ralph le Chatere, co., Warw., Hen.
III-Edw. I.K.
Stephen le Chatere, co. Warw., ibid.
Thomas Chetur, smyth, 1379: P.T. Yorks. p.41.
Walter le Chatur, co. Camb., 1273. A. Agnes le Chatur, co. Cambs., ibid.
1737. Married-Thomas Cheater and Sarah Blackstaff: St. Dionis Backhurch,
p.66.
1801. - John Jeans and Martha Chater: St. Geo. Han.Sq. ii. 235
London, 8,1; New York, 3,1.
Does anyone have any other definitions they would care to share?
Kind regards
