The Coat of Arms most associated with the name is a blue shield, on a silver chevron between two eagles displayed in chief and a lion rampant in base, gold, three red fleur-de-lis. Thomas Snook was married to Ann Autrick in St. The modern surname has two forms, Snook and Snooks.
In some cases the surname may derive from a medieval nickname for someone with a long nose, and there is also some evidence that there was an Olde English personal name 'Snoc', meaning "snake", as in the placename "Snorscomb" in Northamptonshire, which means "Snoc's valley", from the Olde English '"cumb". The name denotes someone who lived on a projecting piece of land, derived from the Olde English pre 7th Century word "snoc", in Middle English "snoke", a pointed piece of land.
This very unusual and interesting name is an English topographical surname, of Anglo-Saxon origin.
