[Surname] Re: Drucker
in reply to a message by andy ;—)
According to Jean Tosti's website "printer" is the one. He states that printing was a common occupation among Ashkenazic Jews in the 15th century. So, bearing in mind that adoption of hereditary surnames often took place later among Jews than among other communities, post-15th century wouldn't be unlikely.
