Re: Place Names by Marc |
Strother is a surname and place names of the Anglo-Scots border. Reaney and Wilson explain it as "dweller at the place overgrown with brushwood", but that surely would be from a place called Stroth. George Fraser Black explains the cognate Scots surname, Struthers, as being from the Middle English "strother, meaning marsh or swamp".
