Answer 2

Cook
This distinguished surname, with forty entries in the
"Dictionary of National Biography", and having no less than
fifty Coats of Arms, is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is an
occupational name for a cook, seller of cooked meats, or the
keeper of an eating house. The derivation is from the Olde
English pre 7th Century "coc", ultimately from the Latin
"cocus", cook, and the surname has a particularly early first
recording (see below). It also has the distinction of being
recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086, when one Galter Coc was noted in Essex. The surname is also widespread in early Scottish records. Richard Cocus held lands in Berwick after 1147, and Raginaldus the Cook witnessed the gift of the church of Cragyn in Kyle to the Abbey of Paisley, circa 1177. One Henry Coke, and a Ralph le Cook were recorded in Somerset and Sussex in 1279 and 1296 respectively.

Notable bearers of the name were Sir Thomas Cooke, sheriff of
London, 1453, and Lord Mayor of London, 1462, and Sir George
Cooke who commanded the first division of guards at the Battle
of Waterloo, 1815. Garret Cooke, aged 20 yrs., who embarked from London on the "Primrose" bound for Virginia in July 1635 was one of the earliest recorded namebearers to settle in America. The Coat of Arms most associated with the name is a gold shield with a red chevron between two lions passant guardant. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Aelfsige thene Coc, which was dated
circa 950, in the "Anglo-Saxon Wills Records", during the reign
of Edred the Saxon, Ruler of England, 946 - 955


Gascoyne
This interesting and unusual surname is of early medieval English origin, and is from a regional name for someone from the province of Gascony, from the Old French "Gascogne". The name of the region derives from that of the Basques, who are found close by and formerly extended into this region as well; they are first named in Roman sources as "Vascones", but the original meaning of the name, derived from a root "eusk-" in the
on-Indo-European language that they still speak today, is completely obscure. By the Middle Ages the Basques had been displaced from most of Gascony by speakers of Gascon (a dialect of Occitan, related to French), who were proverbial for their boastfulness. The surname was first recorded in the early 13th Century, and early recordings include: William le Gascun in the 1208 Pipe Rolls of Yorkshire; Peter Gascoying in the 1274 Hundred Rolls of Devonshire; Joan Gaschoyn in the 1469
Register of the Guild of the Corpus Christi in the City of York; and Thomas Gaskyn in the 1524 Subsidy Rolls of Suffolk. The modern surname can be found recorded as Gascoigne, Gascogne, Gascoyne, Gascone, Gasken, Gaskin and Gasking. The marriage was recorded in London of George Gaskin and Margerie Fisher on March 8th 1613 at St. Katherine by the Tower. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to
be that of Bernard Gascon, which was dated 1206, in the "Curia Regis Rolls of Northumberland", during the reign of King John, known as "Lackland", 1199 - 1216
