Name Meaning
German: nickname for someone with boils or lumpy skin, or perhaps for a hunchback, from Middle High German maser ‘lump, protuberance’.
German: from Middle High German maser ‘maple-wood bowl’ (Old French masere, of ancient Germanic origin), hence a metonymic occupational name for a wood-turner producing such ware.
English: occupational name from Middle English maserer ‘maker of mazers or maple-wood bowls’, with simplification of -erer to -er. This surname is very rare in Britain and Ireland.
