Position:Home>Genealogy> What origin does the last name Sharke come from?Question:I believe you spell it Sharke...Is it an Indian type of last name? Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: I believe you spell it Sharke...Is it an Indian type of last name? With varied spellings: Shark English: possibly a variant of Chark, a metonymic occupational name for a porter or carrier, from Old French "charche" ‘load’. Sharkey Irish (Ulster and Connacht): reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic ó" Searcaigh "‘descendant of "Searcach"’, a byname meaning ‘"beloved’". So, going by this, there was no Indian unless he was born in Dublin or Paris. LOL You need to know if that's the original last name - it could be Scharke, which would be German.
