Origin of the Name Disher



The ancient history of the name Disher was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. The name Disher is of occupational name describing a person engaged in the craft of pottery and metalwork, specifically making dishes. This name is usually of English descent and is found in many ancient manuscripts in that country. Examples of such are a Walter le Dissher of County Somerset who was recorded in 'Kirby's Quest for Somerset', in the year 1889. A Margaret le Disheresse of County Somerset was recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls' in the year 1273. A Hector Moore and Elizabeth Disher who recorded as having been married in Canterbury in the year 1693.
Names were recorded in these ancient documents to make it easier for their overlords to collect taxes and to keep records of the population at any given time. When the overlords acquired land by either force or gifts from their rulers, they created charters of ownership for themselves and their vassals. It was by creating, maintaining and updating these reference books that they were able to maintain their authority and enforce laws.
In Ireland this name and its variants were introduced into Ulster Province by settlers who arrived from England and Scotland , especially during the seventeenth century. It was the 'Plantations of Ireland ' in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that marked the end of Gaelic supremacy in Ireland . While the influx of settlers in the wake of the earlier Anglo-Norman invasion of the twelfth century resulted in a full integration into Irish society of the new arrivals, the same never occurred with the Ulster Planters who maintained their own distinct identity.
The Disher coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all Disher descendants.
