Latymer
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Latymer (also Latimer) is an uncommon English surname. It is a 'surname of office' derived from latinier, or latimer, a speaker or writer of Latin. This occupation existed in medieval Europe when Latin was the common language of science, literature, law, and administration and thus the vehicle of records and transcripts.
