what was the origin of the name turner
Other claims for the origin of the name Turner which have turned out to be incorrect are Tornai, which is another Norman family, and Tournoire, which is claimed to have come from The Black Tower of Normandy, which is yet to be located.he origin of the name comes from Old French Le meaning The and etourneau meaning starling, thus giving us LeTourneau (pronounced le turner). Over time the Le or L' was dropped and in nearly all cases the spelling of the remaining tourneau became Anglicised.
