Porker Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Neither a young pig, nor a dealer in pork. In Domesday, the word sometime signifies a swineherd, but more usually a free occupier, who rented the privilege of feeding pigs in the woodlands, and sometimes paid his rent in kind. Ellis. Itrod. Domesd. i. 89. In the H.R. the name is written Porcarius, Porkar, and Le Porker.
Porker: hence our surname Porcher. How speedily the servitors began to rise from the lowest rank may be seen by a monument, in Upton Pyne Church, of Edmund Larder in armour. The date is 1520, and yet—certainly but a few centuries before, even if so much as a few, his ancestor was a fattener of pigs.
