Cutter

English occupational surname

"tailor, barber"

Cutter Origin and Meaning

The name Cutter is a boy's name meaning "tailor, barber".

Cutter was an old-fashioned term for a tailor or barber that was eventually adopted as a surname. That gives it more legitimacy than many of the other aggressive boy names — Striker, Shooter, Breaker, et al. — but Cutter remains equally threatening.
