Name Meaning

English:

occupational name for someone who lays slates on roofs, from Middle English sclat(t)er, occasionally slater ‘slater’ (a derivative of Old French esclate ‘slate’ + the Middle English agent suffix -er). See also Slate .

in Sussex and adjacent counties, Slater and Slatter are probably post-medieval pronunciations of Slaughter ; there seems to be no medieval evidence in the southern coast counties for the occupational name Slater in 1 above.
