Origin: Masters is a patronymic form of the English and Scottish nickname Master, which described the man who behaved in a masterful way, or as an occupational name for the master of a craft. It is derived from Middle English maister > Latin magister. The name was borne in early times by people who were freeholders of enough land that they had laborers who helped them work the land. In Scotland, the eldest sons of Barons held this title, and the name may have been an acquired nickname for the servant of the eldest son of a baron. Meystre is a variant. There are numerous cognates in several languages in addition to patronymic and diminutive forms.
