Name Meaning
English: from Blacker, a minor placename in Crigglestone in Sandal (Yorkshire), meaning ‘black marsh’ from Old English blæc ‘black’ + Old Norse kjarr ‘marsh’.
English: occupational name from Middle English blakere, blakkere, the meaning of which is disputed. It may be a derivative of Middle English blaken ‘to blacken’ (from Old English blæc ‘black’). The nature of the occupation is unclear, but it may have involved making black ink or dyeing cloth black. It is also speculated to derive from an unrecorded Middle English blaken, a hypothetical side form of blechen, from Old English blǣcan ‘to whiten’.
German (Bläcker): probably from Middle Low German black ‘black ink’, hence an occupational name for an ink maker.
