Help[Surname] Sabater
Does anyone have info on the surname Sabater ? I believe it's of Catalán origin and may come from the word "zapato". Perhaps they were shoemakers ? Can anyone verify if this is correct or not ?
Thank you.
Thank you.

Confirmed; Zapatero is the Castilian version, Sabater the Catalan. Zapata probably means the same, a shoemaker or -repairer (cobbler).

Have a look here -

best if you know some Spanish, but the distribution map is clear, and the numbers are 1) the number of people in Spain surnamed Sabater, 2) position in order of popularity.
