The history of the last name Andrusier

The surname "ANDRUSIER" is believed to have originated in the Normandy region of northern France during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Old French word "andruisier," which referred to a maker or seller of iron goods, particularly weapons and armor.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is listed as "Androisier" in the county of Sussex, England. This suggests that the name had already spread across the English Channel by the late 11th century, likely carried by Norman settlers who arrived following the Norman Conquest of 1066.

In the 13th century, the name can be found in various spellings, such as "Andrusier," "Andruiser," and "Andruysier," in records from the Duchy of Normandy and other regions of northern France. This indicates that the name had solidified its spelling and was well-established in its area of origin.

One notable early bearer of the name was Guillaume Andrusier, a French blacksmith and armorer who lived in the late 12th century. He is recorded as having crafted weapons and armor for several prominent knights and nobles of the time.

Another historical figure was Jehan Andrusier, a French soldier who fought in the Hundred Years' War against England in the 14th century. He is mentioned in chronicles from the late 1300s for his bravery in several battles.

In the 15th century, the name appears in records from the town of Andruisier, located in the Normandy region of France. This may have been a place name derived from the surname, or vice versa, but it further cements the name's connection to the area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name in England comes from the birth of Thomas Andrusier in 1532 in the village of Andruisier, Hampshire. This suggests that the name had become well-established in parts of southern England by the 16th century.

In the 17th century, a notable bearer of the name was Pierre Andrusier, a French explorer and fur trader who traveled extensively in what is now Canada and the Great Lakes region of North America. His journals from the 1670s provide valuable insights into the early encounters between Europeans and Native American tribes.
