Meaning & Origin of Fraser
Origin: Scottish (surname, disputed etymology).
A common claim: popularly said to come from French fraise "strawberry" (reflected in the strawberry flowers on the Fraser clan crest) Actually: Wiktionary notes this surname doesn't correspond to any known French place name, which casts doubt on the "strawberry" story. It may instead derive from a Gaelic name — its true origin remains unresolved.
