Flucker Family History

Flucker Surname Meaning

Perhaps a derivative of Middle English fluke, older Scots fluke flowke (Old English flōc) means ‘flat fish’ (especially the flounder) + -er denoting a fisherman specialising in the catching of flat fish. Black notes that this was ‘an old surname in Fife’ and ‘a not uncommon one among the fisherfolk of Newhaven near Edinburgh.’

Alternatively, it may be a variant of Fulcher (Middle English Fulcher, Fulker, Folker) with metathesis of l. See also Flockhart and Folkard, with which the surname probably became confused.
