English: habitational name from Charnock Richard or Heath
Charnock in southern Lancashire, which are probably named with a
derivative of Celtic carn ‘cairn’, ‘pile of stones’ (see
Cairns).Perhaps also an Americanized spelling of
Polish Czarnoch, a nickname for a dark-haired person, from
Polish czarny ‘black’, or possibly of German Scharnack
or Tschernak, nicknames from a Slavic word with the same
meaning.
