Where the Baker name comes from

Baker is what it sounds like, and the trade is older than the surname by centuries. It comes through the Middle English bakere from the Old English baecere, built on bacan, to dry by heat, which covers rather more than bread. In a small community the name could attach to whoever owned the communal oven rather than to a baker by trade. The Gaelic form in Scotland and Ireland is Mac a' Bhacstair, and Baxter is the same word in its female form, which is why a Baxter is more likely to be Scottish than a Baker is.
