The history of the last name Hatler

The surname Hatler is of Anglo-Saxon origin, believed to have originated in England during the medieval period.

This suggests that the name was likely given to someone who made or sold hats.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Hatler can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire from the late 12th century, where a person named Willelmus le Hatter is mentioned. The Pipe Rolls were a series of financial records maintained by the English Exchequer, making this an important early reference.

In the 13th century, the name appears in various forms, such as "Hattere", "Hattar", and "Hatter", as seen in records from counties like Lincolnshire, Oxfordshire, and Cambridgeshire. These variations in spelling were common during this period, as there were no standardized rules for English orthography.
