Sumner Origin and Meaning
The name Sumner is a boy's name meaning "summoner".
Billionaire Sumner Redstone, the nonagenarian owner of CBS and Viacom, practically has a monopoly on his first name — for now. But Hunter, Asher, and Ryder have ushered in a major vogue "-er" names, so it may only be a matter of time before parents discover this one.
Charles Sumner, the great abolitionist senator from the 19th century, would be a terrific namesake.
