Släkthistoria för Image
Image Vad efternamn betyder
apparently from Old French Middle English image ymage ‘image; pictorial representation; sculpture’ so perhaps used to describe an artist sculptor or carver. However the lack of medieval evidence for the surname leaves open the possibility that it has a different source altered to Image by folk etymology or that it is a reduced form of the obsolete surname Imager attested in Alexander le Ymagour 1305 in London Letter Books B.
