The surname Barker is Old French in origin, reaching its current form in England during the middle ages. The original form is Barchkert, pronounced Barr-Curt. Sometime after the Norman Conquest it changed to Barcker and then to Barker. Many southern English families have this name and it's common in the U.S., as Smith and Jones are. The current French form is Le Barckert.

William Barker (English) arrived in Branford, CT in the mid 1600's.
