Where did the English Spooner family come from? What is the English Spooner family crest and coat of arms? When did the Spooner family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Spooner family history?
The Spooner surname is generally thought to have derived from the Middle English word "spoon," which was a "chip," or "splinter" of wood; and as such, was an occupational name for someone who made wooden roof shingles. It was on after the 14th century, under Scandinavian influence, that the word spoon, began to acquire its modern usage as an eating utensil, but it is certainly possible that the surname may also have been taken on occupationally by someone who made spoons.
