drinkard Name Meaning and History

Perhaps an altered spelling of German Trinkart or Trinkert, nicknames for a drinker, or Dutch Drinckwaard, which Debrabandere suggests could be an occupational name for a publican or innkeeper, though he thinks it is more likely to be a reinterpreted form of Drinkwater.
