FLETCHER -
“Fletcher comes from an English surname with roots in the word “flechier,” a common term for one who made arrows or one who sold arrows. Arrows, of course, were the popular hunting and war weapon before and during the initial use of gunpowder. The word flechier comes from the word “fleche” meaning “arrow.” Although its roots are at least to 1330, it is believed to have existed as a surname attested from 1203.”
Wiki Name.com
The name Fletcher is normally associated with arrow making; however, this is not
always an acceptable explanation, the Fletcher being responsible for the equipping
of the bowman, a medieval supply officer.
The first recorded spelling of the family
name is shown to be that of Robert le Flecher, which was dated 1203, in the "Assize
Court Rolls of Staffordshire", during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland",
