Dyer (surname)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dyer (/ˈd.ər/) is an English surname with early medieval origins, deriving from the trade of cloth dying. Dyer is also found in Ireland (Counties Sligo and Roscommon) as an Anglicisation of the Irish Gaelic surnames in Ireland "O Duibhir" and "Mac Duibhir" (O'Dyer / McDyer). These are both derived from the words dubh, which means black, and odhar or uidhir, which mean uncolored.[citation needed]
