Name Meaning

English (mainly East Anglia): from the Middle English personal name Fulcher, Fulchier, Fulger, Fulker, Foucher, a name of Norman introduction, from an Old French form of ancient Germanic Fulchar, Fulcher. Old English Folchere (not recorded after 824) and Old Danish Folkar (otherwise unrecorded in England) are alternative, but unlikely sources of the surname.
