History
There are conflicting reports of the origin of the Whimster name, but perhaps the most convincing variant
comes from Colin Whimster: "Whimster is listed as a rare form of Phimister or Femister which means 'keeper of the
flocks' or fee-maister and is a name relatively common in Morayshire. Some 10 years ago I booked into a small hotel
in Wick and my anglicised pronunciation as 'wimster' was corrected for me by the owner to emphasise both the p and
the h in phimister! So I suspect a Phimister moved up to Caithness in the 1600/1700's and had the name re-spelt - as
often happened."
Another story is that the name was originally Fubister and comes from an area of the Orkney Isles of the same name. The people of Thurso in Scotland had a soft accent and the name Whimster was born (there is no account of why it should matter how people in Thurso pronounce an Orkney name).
A third possibility is that the name is Norse and was originally something like Vimister. Apparently both the latter stories may be simultaneously true, as two TV documentaries (The Blood of the Vikings, and another) have mentioned that there was viking blood among the inhabitans of the Orkney Isles.
A book appears to have more information on the Fubisters: The
Biographical Dictionary of Scottish Women.
(24.3.2005) The most recent information says that the name Whimster was made up by a James Foubister, whose
son became James Whimster.
A genealogist from Stirling, U.K., has at some point researched the Whimster name, and discovered that the name had come to Stirling at some time in the 19th century when an Aberdeen fisherman married a local girl. The family name died out there about 1965.
At the end are Whimsters who I cannot yet connect to the tree. If you know where they belong, please let me know.
