Name Meaning

English (Surrey): occupational name for a bell-founder, from Middle English belleyetere ‘bell-founder’. Compare Billeter . It is unlikely that there would have been enough work to keep anyone employed exclusively in making bells, and there is evidence that bell makers were general founders, engaged for the most part in making smaller domestic items, such as pots and buckles. This surname has now died out in Britain. Compare Geater .

Americanized form of Swiss German Billeter .
