Squiers Origin and Meaning

The name Squiers is a boy's name.

Squiers is an unusual masculine name that appears to have originated as a surname rather than a traditional given name. The surname Squiers is a variant of Squires, which historically referred to a squire or shield-bearer to a knight, or a prominent landowner. As a first name, Squiers is exceptionally rare, likely representing a family surname repurposed as a given name—a practice that became more common in the 20th century, particularly in the United States. The name carries associations of nobility, service, and historical tradition. Its rarity makes it a highly distinctive choice that would certainly stand out in any context.
