Schreiner


----
Schreiner is a family name of German origin.

Origin

Schreiner is an occupational surname and refers to a woodworker and often more specifically to a maker of fine woodwork; thus it translates to English as "joiner", "cabinetmaker", or "carpenter". Thus, for example, a German man of the Middle Ages named Johann Schreiner was literally "John the cabinetmaker", which differentiated him from other local men also named Johann, such as Johann Bäcker or Johann Weißkopf.
Some English spelling variations of the name are Shreiner, Schriner, and Shriner.
