Origin / History of the Cook Name

Of Anglo-Saxon origin, it is an occupational name for a cook, seller of cooked meats, or the keeper of an eating house. The origin is from the Olde English "coc", ultimately from the Latin "cocus", cook.  It has the distinction of being recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, when one Galter Coc was noted in Essex. The surname is also widespread in early Scottish records.
