覚え方のコツ Memory Tip
姓では通常 Cutler と大文字で書きます。もとは cutlery「ナイフ・フォークなどの刃物類」と同系で、刃物を作る人・売る人を表した職業名です。Smith が鍛冶職由来の姓であるのと同様に、「刃物職人の家系名」と結び付けると、文書や名簿に現れる Cutler を姓として判断しやすくなります。
Remember Cutler by connecting it with cutlery, the general term for knives and related table utensils. Historically, a cutler was a craftsperson or merchant who made or sold knives and other cutting implements. Like Smith, Baker, and Carpenter, the occupational label became a hereditary English surname. Therefore, when Cutler appears after a given name or beside titles such as Mr. or Professor, read it as a family name and capitalize it. The spelling resemblance to cut is helpful, but the historical route runs through French and Latin words for knives rather than being a newly formed English word with the suffix -er.

cutler の語源・成り立ち Etymology
古フランス語 coutelier（刃物職人）からで、ラテン語 cultellus（小刀）に遡る。culter（刀・鋤刃）の指小辞形。刃物を作る・売る職人を指す姓として定着した。関連語: cutlery（刃物類）、coulter（鋤刃）。
Cutler comes from Anglo-French or Old French coutelier, meaning a maker or seller of knives. That word derives from Latin cultellus, “small knife,” a diminutive of culter, “knife” or “plowshare.” The occupational term entered Middle English and, like many names of trades, later became an inherited surname. Cutlery belongs to the same word family. Coulter, the cutting blade of a plow, is also historically related through Latin culter, despite its different modern spelling and meaning.
