The meaning of Currier from "English Ancestral Names: The Evolution of the Surname from Midieval Occupations", J. R. Dolan :"Couraour, Cunreyour, Currier and Curryer come by a devious route from the tanning industry. The work of the currier was, and to some extent still is, the highly skilled task of a specialist with three different tools-the currier's knife, the stone, and the steel. With successive applications of these tools, an experienced CURRIER could make a piece of tanned hide look and feel as smooth as a piece of satin."
