The surname Salter has a fascinating history, particularly among individuals of Irish descent. The name itself is derived from the occupation of a "salter," which referred to someone who was involved in the production or trade of salt.

The surname Salter is thought to have originated in England, where it was commonly found among salt producers and traders. Over time, the name spread to Ireland, likely through migration and intermarriage between English settlers and the native Irish population.

In Ireland, the Salter surname may have undergone some variations in spelling and pronunciation, as is common with many surnames. It is worth noting that the spelling of surnames often depended on the literacy levels of individuals and the phonetic interpretations of record keepers.
