Derrer
Origin:Swiss
Other Origin(s):German
Meaning:Flax worker, hemp worker
"Derrer is a Swiss German occupational title that once described a ""flax worker"" or ""hemp worker."" Like many last names, Derrer can also seamlessly fit the first-name mold, and is most often given to boys. The Derrers of times past were very busy people, as they would have spent their days preparing and processing the flax and hemp plants. Once the ""flax worker"" or ""hemp worker's"" job was complete, the flax and hemp would be ready to produce linen thread, fabric, or even feed for animals. Perhaps your Derrer will be just as much of a busy bee, keeping you on your toes as they make messes, run toward adventure, and express their creativity. "
