Meaning of this name is unknown.

Martin Scarr says: In looking for the origin of the surname ‘Scarr’ we must first consider why the early bearers of the name were so called. Many surnames are derived from occupations or from places where people lived. It would appear that the name ‘Scarr’ is derived from places in the north of England where there are exposed rocky areas or scars. The Anglo-Saxon word ‘scar’ means a mark in the flesh following a cut. We find ‘sheren’ - to cut - in early German and earlier, ‘eschara’ - a scab - in Latin. The German word ‘schare’ means a cliff face in a rocky area and is found as a surname in Germany in ther fourteenth century. Ulrich Schar appeared in records there in 1330. In the Germanic languages of Scandinavia we find the words ‘skar’, ‘skur’, ‘skor’, and ‘skarth’ all with the similar meaning of a rocky place or a gap through such a place. This is important when we remember the Danes and Vikings were in England a thousand years ago. The Vikings especially made their home in Wensleydale having been driven out of Ireland and there is much evidence that they lived for generations in their own communities until they eventually integrated with the English. Surnames were not found much before the thirteenth century but the Vikings did bring words that were later used as surnames. In the area of Askrigg in Yorkshire we can count up to twenty places including the name scar such as Scar Head, Green Scar Mire, Scar Top, Nappa Scar, Bull Scar, Bob Scar, Rowantree Scar etc. In 1178 we find Robert Skar, Vicar to the monks of Rievaulx Abbey and then Ralph Sker in a legal document of 1218 in York. Over the years there have been quite a few variants of ‘Skar; and the most significant change is that the k gave way to c. So, at first we find ‘Skarr’, ‘Skarre’ and ‘Skar’ until ‘Scarr’ came into regular use soon after the earliest parish records were kept. Some vicars kept their records entirely in Latin which produced the spelling ‘Scara’, a name which is still occasionally found today. There was quite a group of people with the name ‘Skarr’ or ‘Scarr’ in Devon in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. This may seem surprising until we realise that other names also were brought by sailors from the north. However, by far the largest group to bear the name outside of Yorkshire was in Cambridgeshire. Here the spelling was ‘Skare’ or ‘Skarr’ at first but after 1700 the spelling ‘Scare’ was used. Occasionally we find ‘Scair’ and it would appear it was pronounced this way. It was only in the mid-nineteenth century that the northern spelling of ‘Scarr’ was used. In a sixteenth century London inventory of ‘strangers’ from the Low Countries we find the name ‘Skarre’. We remember that Flemish weavers had come over to East Anglia many years before and there is much evidence pointing to the fact that the Scarrs of Cambridgeshire had no connection with those of Yorkshire except in name.
