A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

A cockfighter.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Cocker: an owner of fighting-cocks; also. The author of the “Townley Mysteries” puts him in bad company: “These dysars [dicers] and these hullars, These cokkers and these bullars (bull-wards), And all purse cuttars, Be well ware of these men.”

Our name of Cockerel may come from Cotterel, and not signify a petty cockfighter; but a Coker and a Coaker refer to the man who supplied entertainment by keeping a cockpit.
