Meaning & origin
Felder is a rare given name that first appeared in U.S. Social Security records in 1914. It reached its peak usage in 1919, though even at that peak it never entered the top 1000 rankings, reflecting its extremely low frequency. The name has maintained a stable trajectory over the decades with very few births per year, and it has not seen a revival. Felder is almost exclusively used for boys. The name is primarily an English surname origin, and its top states of usage have been sporadic, with no single state standing out. As a given name, Felder remains a distinctive choice with a straightforward connection to nature and the land.
Felder is an English surname derived from Middle English 'feld' (field) plus the agent suffix '-er', denoting someone who lived or worked in a field. It likely originated as a topographic name for a dweller at a field or as an occupational name for a field worker. As a given name, Felder is rare and appears to have been used primarily in the early 20th century in the United States.
