What origin does the last name Sharke come from?

I believe you spell it Sharke...Is it an Indian type of last name?

What origin does the last name Sharke come from?
With varied spellings:


Shark


English: possibly a variant of Chark, a metonymic occupational name for a porter or carrier, from Old French "charche" 鈥榣oad鈥?





Sharkey


Irish (Ulster and Connacht): reduced Anglicized form of Gaelic 脫" Searcaigh "鈥榙escendant of "Searcach"鈥? a byname meaning 鈥?quot;beloved鈥?quot;.








So, going by this, there was no Indian unless he was born in Dublin or Paris. LOL
Reply:You need to know if that's the original last name - it could be Scharke, which would be German.
