In Scotland Master was the title given to administrators of medieval hospitals, as well as being born by the eldest sons of barons; thus, the surname may also have been acquired as a metonymic occupational name by someone in the service of such.Either a dialect form or an Americanized form of German Meister.Indian (Gujarat and Bombay city) : Parsi occupational name for someone who was a master of his craft, from the English word master.
