Squier Origin and Meaning

Squier is an uncommon masculine name with English origins, functioning primarily as a surname before occasional use as a first name. Historically, it derived from the medieval occupation title 'squire' (from Old French 'esquier'), referring to a knight's attendant or shield-bearer who was often a nobleman in training. As a given name, Squier has remained exceptionally rare, appealing to parents seeking distinctive historical names with aristocratic or occupational connections. The name carries connotations of chivalry, service, and nobility. Some may recognize it from Squier guitars, a brand owned by Fender, which might influence contemporary associations with the name.
