What is the origin of the name 'Letter'?

Question

The family has been in England for 200 years traceable. Not sure before that. Any European possibilities?

Answer 1

I searched on the web site below and found about 390,000+ names with the surname Letter. If I had a first name, it would be helpful because sometimes in their message board, you can also find someone who has already traced farther back. The message board has loads of information, people post what they have found in their family. Hope this helps. This is a free site.

Answer 2

That is possible..you just have to keep tracing.
