"The Skinner surname is likely occupational in origin. Before becoming used as a surname the word 'skinner' was commonly used to identify someone who treated animal skins.

The English making of the Skinner surname literally means "one who prepared skins". An alternative Danish meaning of Skinner is 'Keeper of Robes' which also hints at the historical connection to tradespeople who were involved with the furs and hides that would have been used to create clothing.

Common variations on the Skinner name are Skiner, Skinners, Shinners and Skynners. Other variations include Sckynner, Skyner, Skyniar, Skynnar, Skynner, and Skynnere."
