All about the name JOHNPARKER

Meaning, origin, history.

Johnparker is of American origin, derived from the personal name John combined with Parker, an occupational surname for a maker of parkas or outer garments. It has been used occasionally as a given name since the 19th century. The name Johnparker is composed of two elements: 'John', which is a Hebrew name meaning 'God is gracious', and 'Parker', which comes from the Old English word 'park', meaning 'enclosure', and 'gere', meaning 'spear'. Thus, Johnparker could be interpreted as 'John who makes spears in the enclosure' or more metaphorically, 'John who prepares for protection or defense'. The name has seen limited usage throughout history but has not gained widespread popularity, making it unique and distinctive. It is sometimes associated with the Parker family of American politicians from Virginia, including Robert Parkhouse Parker and his son John R. Parker, who served in Congress during the mid-19th century.
