"CHAMBERLAIN. From the office, Old French chamberlenc, Latin camerarius. The office of royal chamberlain was one of great responsibility in virtue of the fact that until the reign of James i he managed the king's revenue and was head of the Exchequer. The great nobles, also, had each a chamberlain who looked after his lord's business affairs. John Camerarius witnessed a confirmation charter by William the Lion, c. 1175 (REA., i, p. 9). Walter Camerarius witnessed a charter by Eschina, wife of Walter Fitz Alan, before 1177 (RMP., p. 74). Menzeis Chammerlan appears in Caldystarris, 1532 (Rental). The surname was never common in Scottish records. 0 "(The surnames of Scotland. George Fraser Black, 1866-1948)
