The ancient name of Hauker finds its origins with the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It comes from a name for a hawker, or someone who held land in exchange for providing hawks to a lord.

 Hauker migration to the United States | + |
For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad.

Early immigrants bearing the Hauker surname or a spelling variation of the name include :
