The Gartner family name dates back to the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. The name comes from when an early member worked as a gardener. The surname Gartner originally derived from the Old French word gardinier. It was later adopted in England after the Norman Conquest of 1066. Occupational names that were derived from the common trades of the medieval era transcended European cultural and linguistic boundaries.
