Frazer is Scottish in Origin.

Frazer is a Scottish surname-turned-given name with Norman French roots. The name traces to medieval settlers recorded as Frisel/Fresel who established Clan Fraser in the Scottish Lowlands and Highlands by the 13th century; its Gaelic form is Friseal. The original meaning is debated, but from the 14th century the family arms displayed strawberry flowers, fostering the enduring folk link to French fraise "strawberry," often given as its symbolic meaning.

As a first name, Frazer gained ground in Scotland and the wider Anglophone world from the late 19th century, part of the fashion for using clan surnames as forenames. The spelling Fraser remains most common; Frazer is an established Scottish variant, while Frazier and Frasier are Americanized forms. Related variants include Frayser; diminutives such as Fraz or Fraze appear informally. The name carries a brisk, traditional Scottish tone, evoking heritage and the storied history of the Fraser kindred.
