The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Bleecker has been recorded under many different variations, including Bleacher, Bleecher, Bleecker, Bleaker and others.First found in Hampshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1327 when Robert Bleacher held estates.

On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Bleecker or a variant listed above:
Bleecker Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
- Jan Janse Bleecker, who landed in New York in 1658
- Jan Jansen Bleecker, who landed in America in 1658
