Surname Origins[]

Its etymology is uncertain, with [[{{{2}}}]] ([[wikipedia:Richard Stephen Charnock:{{{2}}}|Richard Stephen Charnock]]) favoring a derivation from a diminutive of Germanic bach ("little stream, creek")[1][2] and others from an eponymous seigniory in Normandy or from a corruption of Beacon.[1] It is sometimes folk etymologized from bacon.[3]

A cautionary note on this genealogy: while generally well-documented with reliable sources, many of them primary, the compilers also used IGI; Family Group Records; and online genealogies on occasion. These latter sources may not be reliable.
