Etymology

The word 'tanner' originates from the Old French term 'tanneur,' which derives from the Latin word 'tannarium,' meaning 'to tan leather.' The practice of tanning dates back thousands of years to ancient civilizations who needed durable materials for clothing, shelter, and tools. The techniques and methods of tanning have evolved significantly over time, with ancient cultures using natural substances like tree bark and animal fats in the process. As the demand for leather grew, so did the importance of the tanner's trade, leading to the establishment of dedicated workshops and guilds in medieval Europe. With the Industrial Revolution, modern tanning methods were developed, introducing chemical processes that improved efficiency and production scale. However, traditional tanning methods are still valued for their craftsmanship and environmental sustainability.
