falcon Name Meaning and History

  1. English: from Middle English, Old French faucon, falcun ‘falcon’, either a metonymic occupational name for a falconer, or a nickname for someone thought to resemble the falcon, which was regarded as a symbol of speed and courage in the Middle Ages. In a few cases, it may also have been a metonymic occupational name for a man who operated the piece of artillery named after the bird of prey. Compare Faulkner.
  2. In Louisiana, the name Falcón is borne by the descendants of Canary Islanders brought in to settle in 1779.
