Best Answer

The surname Booker is of Anglo-Saxon origin and has two possible sources. The first being an occupational name for someone concerning books, generally as a scribe or binder. The second source is an occupational name for a bleacher of cloth, derived from the Middle English "bouken", which means to bleach.

Among the earlier recordings in London are the christening of John, son of Rowland Booker, on July 27th 1572 and the marriage of Bartholomew Booker and Elisabeth Painter on May 1st 1622.
