Question:

Where does the origins of the surname fairbrother come from?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: It is English.

First recorded in 1524 as "Fayerbrother" (John Fayerbrother, Suffolk Subsidy Rolls) it could perhaps be understood as "brother of Fair"

"Fair" as a surname dates back to 1066 (Edeua Faira, Domesday Book), and the familial form "son of Fair" (Johannes filius Fair, Curia Regis Rolls, Cambridge) to1203.
