Gardner (surname)
Gardner is a surname of English, Scottish and Irish origin. Most sources say it is an occupational surname that comes from the word "gardener". Other sources claim that it is derived from the old English words ''gar-dyn'' meaning "warrior", "one who bears arms". In Ireland, the surname is an anglicized form of the Gaelic ''Mac'' ''Gairnéir''. Variants include Gardyner, Gardener, Gardenar, Gardinier, Gardiner, and Gardner; the last two are the most common today.
