    Name Meaning

    English: perhaps an occupational name for a seller of dairy products, from an agent derivative of Middle English, Old French creme ‘cream’ (from Late Latin crama, apparently of Gaulish origin). However, the non-existence of Cheeser or Milker casts some doubt on this derivation. A Merquerd Cremer is mentioned as a merchant of "Colbergh within the duchy of Pomeryn" (Kolberg, now Kołobrzeg, Poland) in 1407, which supports the hypothesis that the Low German surname Kremer ‘merchant’ (see also Kramer and 2 below) was found in medieval England and is the source of this surname. Black's law dictionary (1979, fifth edition) defines creamer as "a foreign merchant, but generally taken for one who has a stall at a fair or market", suggesting that the claimed word is in fact a borrowing from the Low German.

    Americanized form of German Krämer, Kramer , or Kremer ‘shopkeeper or trader’. Compare 1 above.
