Bakke is a surname of Norwegian origin. It is not a rare name, though it sounds so cool that people love to say the word, and often feel kindred about the Bakke's they know. They may even be protective of the name to the degree that they believe it is rare, and therefore, dubious if told there are other's named Bakke. Sounds like Rocky with a B. The beauty of the Bakke is that it is limitless & free, guileless yet wild.
The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Francis Chokke, which was dated February 1st 1565, married Robert Hole in London by Civil Licence, during the reign of Queen Elizabeth 1st, known as 'Good Queen Bess', 1558 - 1603.t is our opinion that 'Cornish Surnames' are partially correct about the explanation, that the name derives from a fancied resemblance to a bird. However this is not a jackdaw, but the Olde English pre 7th century 'cocc' or 'cocca', and the Middle English 'Cok, Coc, or kok'.
