Strother
English origin
“An English surname with Scottish roots, Strother likely derives from a place name meaning 'bog stream' or marshy water, reflecting the geography of the Scottish Borders. It carries a rugged, frontier quality and has been used as a given name primarily in the American South, where it evokes a sense of independence and heritage. The name has a strong, distinctive sound that appeals to parents seeking something traditional yet uncommon.”
