Thrasher is an English occupational surname from therscan, 'to thresh' — the worker who beat grain from its husks. The brown thrasher, a bold American songbird, carries the same word. Its modern edge, though, comes from Thrasher magazine, the skateboarding title founded in 1981, and we note that association honestly (said 'THRASH-ur').
It appears only rarely for boys in the U.S. Rare, surname-style, and loud.
Did you know? Thrasher wears three hats at once: an old English job title for threshing grain, a loud-singing American songbird, and the skateboarding magazine whose flame logo is on half the T-shirts in any skatepark (said 'THRASH-ur').
