A person from Fraser, British Columbia, or a surname of Scottish origin meaning 'strawberry' or relating to strawberry fields.
From Scottish Gaelic 'fraise' or French 'fraise' (strawberry). The Fraser River in British Columbia was named after Simon Fraser, a fur trader. As a surname, Fraiser/Fraser appears in Scottish families, eventually being adopted by English speakers during the Middle Ages.
Fraser is famously known as the surname of Frasier Crane, the fictional psychiatrist from the TV show 'Frasier'—but the character's name is a clever callback to the classical tradition of doctors and learned people having sophisticated-sounding Scottish names. The show ran for 11 seasons and became one of the most successful spinoffs in television history!
