The surname and placename derive from medieval occupational names linked to the granary and grain storage; comparable forms occur alongside surnames such as Barnes (surname), Cooper (surname), Miller (surname), and Baker (surname).

The anglicized form became established in English-speaking colonies during the era of Colonial America and British Empire settlement.
Several populated places and geographic features bear the name, including towns in the United States and localities in Australia. Notable entries include a municipality in Iowa proximate to Des Moines metropolitan infrastructure and a town in North Carolina within Wake County, which interacts administratively with Raleigh and regional planning authorities. Smaller communities and unincorporated areas appear in states such as Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia, often recorded in county histories and cadastral surveys dating to the 19th century. In Australia, pastoral stations and homesteads with the name are documented in colonial settlement patterns tied to New South Wales and Victoria land grants and irrigation schemes.
