Help[Surname] Re: What is the meaning and origin of the surname Shearcraft?
in reply to a message by Kyoko
I am guessing here, but I'd say that the orign of the name is from Middle English or Old English, indicating a person who owned a croft (a small plot of enclosed farmland adjoining a house) primarily used for the shearing of sheep. (the element "craft" being a variant of "croft").
