Origin: Perhaps of multiple origins. Partly a borrowing from Dutch. Partly a borrowing from German. Perhaps partly a borrowing from Middle Low German. Etymons: Dutch joncker, German Junker, Middle Low German junker.

Etymology: Partly (i) < Middle Dutch joncker, joncheer (Dutch jonker , jonkheer ; < jonc young adj. + here lord: see her n.¹), and partly (ii) < the similarly-formed German Junker (in early modern German also junckher ; Middle High German junchērre ; compare Junker n.¹), and perhaps also partly (iii) < the similarly-formed Middle Low German junker, juncher , junchēre . In use in Scandinavian contexts (see sense 1) probably partly via Swedish junker (in Old Swedish as junkhärra , junker ) and Danish junker (in Old Danish as iunchærræ ), both < either Middle Low German or early modern German. Compare later Junker n.¹ With sense 3b compare earlier youngster n. 4.It is unclear whether the original compound was first formed in Dutch, German, or Middle Low German; it is apparently first attested in early Middle High German in the 12th cent. It is likely that the forms in these languages influenced each other throughout the medieval and early modern periods. Compare also (probably < Dutch) Old Frisian junker , jonker , junghēra . Variant forms. In forms such as ȝong kere and youngker apparently with remodelling of the first syllable after young adj., probably with awareness of the ultimate origin of this element.

1. A (young) nobleman or gentleman; a young man of high rank. Also preceding a name, as a title. Now historical and rare.Frequent in Older Scots as a general term, but limited in England and in later use to descriptions of Dutch, German, and Scandinavian contexts (cf. the etymology).
