English, German, Dutch, and Jewish (Ashkenazic): nickname for a lively person or for a traveling entertainer, from an agent derivative of Middle English, Middle High German springen, Middle Dutch springhen, Yiddish shpringen ‘to jump or leap’. The surname of German origin is also found in France (Alsace and Lorraine), Poland, Czechia, and Slovenia (see also 4 below). In part, it is a Gottscheerish (i.e. Gottschee German) surname, originating from the Kočevsko region in Lower Carniola, Slovenia (see Kocevar ).
English: occupational name from Middle English springer(e) ‘dancer(?), fencer(?)’; ‘one who traps animals or birds(?)’, a derivative either of Middle English springen ‘to spring up, leap’ (Old English springan) or Middle English spring ‘dance, fencing stroke, bird snare’.
English: perhaps a topographic name from Middle English springer, for someone who lived by a plantation of young trees or by a spring (Middle English spring ‘young tree, young plantation, copse’, ‘spring, source of a stream’; compare Spring ). This type of formation, where the suffix -er is added to a topographic term, is especially frequent in Surrey, Sussex, and Hampshire, but no evidence has yet been found to support this derivation of Springer.
