Gleser Family Crest & Name History

One surname, two spellings: Gleser and Glaser. Name scholars give the meaning as “Glazier”. Only a small detail separates the spellings: Gleser has “e” where Glaser has “a”. Local scribes, dialects and emigration all left their mark on how the name was written. Other spellings include Gloser, Glasser and Glasner.

Heraldry is personal: arms associated with the Glaser surname were borne by specific families, and sharing the name does not mean sharing the blazon. Get the complete Gleser report, with a museum-style coat of arms.
