| Carver | |||||
| This byname indicates someone who carves. However,
Reaney & Wilson and Bardsley
(see below) give different mediums for that carving. It is possible that the term carver generated
bynames for multiple mediums for carving. For example, a person who carved wood as well as
a person who carved meat at table could have a byname carver. "A derivative of OE ceorfan 'to cut, carve', one who carves, usually in wood, sometimes in stone; 'wood-carver, sculptor' (c1385 MED). This would later become Carver." (Reaney & Wilson, p. 85 s.n. Carver) "Official, 'the carver,' a servitor whose duty it was to carve at table. 'Item, to William Denton, carver to the Queen, £26 13s. 4d.' (1503): Privy Purse Exp., Eliz. of York, p. 100." (Bardsley, p. 163 s.n. Carver) | |||||
