I would like to know what the surname Childers means and where it comes from. I think it might be English (I know of an English writer by the name) but I am not certain. Thank you so much for your help.

As this is my last name, I have been curious as to the meaning as well. My research is leading me back to the Holy Feast of Childermas.

Childers is a variant of Childerhouse which is thought to be a lost placename which might have been the site of a children's house, i.e., an orphanage.
