Whitacker is a form of Whittaker or Whitaker, an English surname-turned-masculine-first-name derived from Old English hwīt or hwǣte meaning “white” or “wheat” and æcer, meaning “field.” This habitational name therefore means “white field” or “wheat field” and comes from several areas in England: Whitacre in Warwickshire and High Whitaker in Lancashire, as well as Wheatacre in Norfolk or Whiteacre in Waltham. Both meanings bring stunning imagery to mind, from a blanket of beautiful white flowers in a meadow to a field of golden wheat. This moniker has the added bonus of cool-kid nicknames like Whit.
