The Romance of Words (4th ed.)

Note 65 — Chapter VII

Reading edition

As Old Fr. uissier has given usher, I would suggest that the family names Lush and Lusher, which Bardsley (Dict. of English Surnames) gives up, are for Old Fr. l'uis (cf. Laporte) and l'uissier. In modern French Lhuissier is not an uncommon name.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
