History and Origin
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 woman. The Scottish origin of the surname Baxter can be traced to a small Celtic tribe where the Baxters were said to originate. Legend has tells the Scottish Baxters were taken captive by the English and dubbed "Baxters" - their original surname is still unknown. Ancient variations in the spelling of the surname include Bakster, Baxstar, Baxstair, Baxstare and Baxster.
English: transferred use of the surname, which originated in the Middle Ages as an occupational name for a baker, Old English bæcestre. The -estre suffix was originally feminine, but by the Middle English period the gender difference had been lost; Baxter was merely a regional variant of Baker.
