Name Meaning

English (mainly Yorkshire and Lancashire): occupational name for someone who did piece-work (especially someone who threshed grain), from an unrecorded Middle English tasker, a derivative of Middle English task(e) ‘task, piece of work’ (Old French tasque), for someone who was paid for piece-work, especially threshing grain.

In some cases also Slovenian (Tašker): occupational name for a maker of purses, bags, derived from taška ‘bag’, a loanword from German (see Taschner ).
