Name Meaning
English: from Middle English stoket ‘clearing with tree stumps’ (Old English stoccett). The surname may be topographic, for someone who lived in or near a clearing with tree stumps, or habitational, from a place so named, such as Stockhurst Farm in Oxted (Surrey). This surname has now died out in Britain.
