Baxter (name)

Baxter is an Anglo-Saxon and Scottish name, originally from the English occupational surname meaning "baker," from the early Middle English "bakstere" and the Old English "bæcere." The form "Bakster" was originally feminine, with "Baker" as the masculine equivalent, but over time both names came to apply to both men and women. Ancient variations in the spelling of the surname include Bakster, Baxstar, Baxstair, Baxstare and Baxster. Also a reference to the rhyme “Fee-fi-fo-fum” where one of the MacMillan clan ground the bones of the English to make their bread. Hence the nickname Baxter (the Baker).
