Sawyer

The name Sawyer is traditionally a boy's name and it is of English origins. The meaning of Sawyer is 'woodcutter'. It is a name that can be used for either gender and can also be used as a first name or a surname. It refers to a person's job, meaning 'one who made their living by sawing wood'. It was taken from the Old English 'saghier', taken from 'sagh(en)', which means 'to saw'. In the Middle Ages, this was a job that was extremely important, as the majority of buildings (from homes to stables) were made out of wood. The name was first seen in England in the early thirteenth century in the census, where it was written as Sayhere. The name first became popular in America with the release of Mark Twain's 'Tom Sawyer'. This was a children's book that followed the story of a young boy growing up in America, by the Mississippi River. He was known for being extremely cheeky, with an over-active imagination and was always getting him, his friends and his family into trouble. However, he is also known for being a boy with a great heart, who is extremely moral and always trying to help others. It is because of this that the name Sawyer has extremely positive connotations.
