The name would
seem to originate in North West England over 900 years ago and is
also the name of a part of Liverpool which pre-dates that great
city by several centuries. I once read in an old book of surnames
that it comes from old saxon words "faws-acker-lea" which
meant "the fox who lives on the common (ground)" ....could
that have been the local "spiv" or "wide-boy" :o)
. But there are several other versions of its origins, any of
which may also be correct, if less colourful! |

Further links
will be added
as I discover them |
For a really
interesting and well-researched background investigation into the
name there is a superb site at
www.fazackerley.net
and also at
www.fazakerly.net
I would recommend any member of any FAZclan
to check these out. |
