Last Name ACKERS

Summary/Contribute


Meaning Camden derives this surname from the Latin 'Ager,' a field. The name, however, is Saxon, and signifies 'the place of oaks,' or oak-man; 'ac' and 'ake' being old terms for oak. The termination 'er,' in many nouns has the same signification as the Latin 'vir,' a man - as 'Plower,' i. e., Plowman; Baker, Bakerman. Like oak, the first Acker might have been firm and unyielding in his disposition, or he might have used or sold acorns.
