The Panter surname in historical dictionaries
Patronymica Britannica (1860)
PANTER. The name of Paniter, Panter, or Panther, is derived from the office of master-baker. " In the court of France the Panitierwas an officer of high consideration; and in monasteries the Paniter would seem to have been charged with the distribution of bread to the poor — no doubt in virtue of his office of chief baker."
