Name Meaning
German: topographic name for someone who lived by a landing, from Middle Low German docke ‘dock’ + stade ‘embankment, shore’, + the suffix -er denoting an inhabitant. In some cases it may have been an occupational name for a docker, since stade also denoted a granary or warehouse. This surname has apparently died out in Germany. Compare Doxtater and Doxtator .
