From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This is the modern form in Ireland of the French Mauclerc (from Norman Malclerc, cf. Beauclerc).

As such it is on record in Co. Tipperary at least as early as 1210. In 1356 John Mauclerk was an extensive landowner in Co. Tipperary and from that time on the name is of frequent occurrence in records dealing with that county. It is particularly numerous for the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, e.g. in the Tudor Fiants, Petty's “census”of 1659, Tipperary hearth money rolls, wills etc. There are two townlands called Mocklerstown in Co. Tipperary, both in the barony of Middlethird with which the Mockler family were particularly associated. There were no less than forty Mockler families among the householders of south Tipperary when Griffith's Valuation was carried out in the l850's and seven in north Tipperary.

*Other years about that time give a similar picture. By 1890 all forms of the name show a considerable reduction in numbers.
