Poynter:
This interesting name is of early medieval English origin, and is an occupational surname for a maker of points. The name derives from the Middle English (1200 - 1500) "poynte(r), pointe(r)", from the Old French "pointe", point, sharp end, originally from the Latin "puncta", from "pungere", to pierce. Points were a kind of tagged lace or cord, of twisted yarn, silk or leather, used for fastening together the doublet and hose worn in the Middle Ages. Job-descriptive surnames originally denoted the actual occupation of the namebearer, and later became hereditary. In some cases the modern surnames Pointer and Poynter may derive from an occupational name for a tiler; the practice in medieval roofing was for all the layers of tiles to be "pointed", or rendered with mortar, and this was called "pointing" as early as 1265.
