Salter (surname)
Salter is a Medieval English occupational surname, meaning someone who trades in salt. Its other meaning is connected to psalter.[1] An English Salter family came to Portugal in the person of Edward then Duarte Salter, born in 1627, nobleman, son of John Salter, paternal grandson of Nicholas Salter, great-grandson of James Salter and great-great-grandson of Thomas Salter, also noblemen. It brings the following arms: argent, a floured cross sable, accompanied of four mullets sable, one in chief, one in point and one in each flank; crest: an owl proper, armed or. Others use: gules, ten billets or, four, three, two and one. In England they do not use the first of the described arms, which are the known ones in Portugal. It is said that the second arms correspond to a Chart passed by the England King of Arms, brought by Edward then Duarte Salter.[2]
