It is easy to miss Saddler in an index if you only search for Sadler. At root, the name means “Saddle maker”.

How the spelling arose

Family crest and blazon

A coat of arms belongs to a particular family line rather than to everyone named Saddler, so the heraldry linked to Sadler is a starting point, not an automatic right.
