Spooner Family History
Spooner Name Meaning
English: occupational name for someone who covered roofs with
wooden shingles, from an agent derivative of Middle English
spoon ‘chip’, ‘splinter’. However, from the 14th century, under
Scandinavian influence, the word had also begun to acquire its modern
sense denoting the eating utensil, and in some cases the surname may
have been acquired by someone who made spoons, typically from wood or
horn.
