Background Story
Fletcher is an Anglo-Norman surname found in French, English, Scottish and Irish use, from Old French flecher, itself from fleche, "arrow". It was both a regional name, taken from La Flèche, and an occupational name for a maker or seller of arrows. The word was borrowed into the Goidelic languages, which produced the Scottish name Mac an Fhleisteir, "the arrowsmith's son".
