Stringer (pronounced to rhyme with "ringer") is an English occupational surname and occasionally used as a given name. It originally denoted a maker of rope or strings, and especially those for the famous English longbows used for both hunting and war. It is based on an agent derivative of the Old English ''streng'', meaning "string," which is in turn based on the Old Norse ''strengr''. In Yorkshire, where it is still particularly common, George (?) Redmonds argues that the surname may have been connected with ironworking, a stringer having operated some form of specialist hearth.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=stringer )〕 Early examples of the surname recorded in authentic registers and charters of the medieval period include: :''Roger le Strenger'' in 1293, Yorkshire; :''Lady Godwyna Strenger'' in 1328, Somerset; :''Richard Stringer'', in 1679, a footsoldier of Barbados.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.surnamedb.com/Surname/Stringer )〕 The first recorded spelling of the family name is believed to be that of Walter Stringere, which was dated 1194, in the Curia Regis Rolls for Wiltshire.〔 ==List of people== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Stringer (name)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
