Fryer

Fryer is a masculine name of English and French origins that sizzles with vintage charm. This moniker derives from the word frere, which meant “brother,” “comrade,” or “friend” in Middle English and French. Over time, the word frere began to be used in a different context- to describe a member of a Christian religious order. This is where the term friar comes from, a modern English word that will be very familiar to those who have read or seen Shakespeare’s play Romeo and Juliet. As a first name, Fryer carries the meanings “friar,” “brother,” “comrade,” and “friend,” so it’s quite possible that your little Fryer will be a natural confidant and companion.
