    German: occupational name, a variant of Walke .

    English (Devon): apparently from Middle English walk ‘path, footway, place for walking’, perhaps a topographic name denoting someone who lived near or by a footpath. In some cases this may be a variant of Walkey, mainly found in Devon and Cornwall, which is unexplained.
