Catcher

Catcher is typically a male-given name that originated from Middle English 'Cacchere' or 'Kechere'. It first appeared in England among the Norfolk family in the 13th Century. The name derives from a Norfolk’ nickname ‘the catcher’, ‘a huntsman’ or ‘a follower of the chase'.Typically, the meaning of Catcher is ‘huntsman,’ just as one who hunts or catches animals. The name might have some appeal among baseball players since the game involves ‘hitting’ and ‘catching’ a round ball. Ewan McGregor starred as Catcher Block in the 2003 romance comedy, 'Down With Love', alongside Renee Zellweger (Barbara) and Sarah Paulson (Vikki). A simple irony in the plot has Block ‘catching’ the object of his eyes – the independent/feminist Barbara Novak. The name ‘Catcher’ peaked in 2005 and has been used in the U.S., UK, and other parts of Europe. In fact, a lot of countries like South Korea, Russia, Netherlands, Japan, France, Finland, India, and Canada have shown considerable interest in this name. The name has seen a decline in use since 2016. Catcher has other variations like Ketcher, Cetch, Cacher, Katcher, Kecher, and Kasher. Contemporary notable people with the Catcher name include the politician, Bernard Catcher (American Democratic Party) and Walter Catcher (American Electrical Engineer). Laurie Lawlor wrote the biography, 'Shadow Catcher: The Life And Works Of Edward S Curtis' (2005) which chronicles the extensive photojournalism of Native Americans by Mr. Edward.
