Forker Spelling Variations
In Medieval times, spelling and translation were not nearly so highly
developed as today. They were generally carried out according to
the sound and intuition of the bearer. For that reason spelling
variations are extremely common among early Scottish names.
Forkerhas been spelled Farquhar, Farquher, Farker, Farkar,
Forker, Farquar, Farquer and many more.
The Farquharson clan motto is "Fide et fortitudine"
which means "By fidelity and fortitude".
