HISTORY OF THE MEIER NAME
CHARLES CREWS, JR. 4/02/03
Dear Charles
I have just returned from Zeven and Byhusen, Northern Germany from where my Meier relatives originated in 1871.I am advised by just found living relatives who still live there, and a local historian, that the name Meier (sometimes spelt Meyer) simply means worker.The name is extremely common in that part of Germany.Similar to Jones and Brown.
