Meaning ΄the falconer΄, an occupational name. Variants Falcon, Falken, Falkner, Faulkner. The keeper of his Lords and Ladys falcon.
This name is of Anglo-Saxon descent spreading to the Celtic countries of Ireland, Scotland and Wales in early times and is found in
many mediaeval manuscripts throughout the above islands. Examples of such are a Richard le Fauconer, Huntshire, and a
Walter le Fauconer, who were recorded in the ΄Hundred Rolls΄, England, in the year 1273 and a Geoffrey Fauconer, was recorded in the ΄Poll Tax΄,
of the West riding of Yorkshire, in the year 1379. In Scotland a Matheus the Falconer is one of the witnesses by a charter to Earl David,
in the year 1202, and a William the Falconer was granted lands to the Kirk of Maringtun, in the year 1200.
In Ireland the name is found predominately in Ulster being introduced there centuries ago.
Other Scottish kings, particularly Malcolms III and IV, Alexanders II and III, and King Robert the Bruce, favoured Forfar and the hunting
areas around the town. This is reflected in place names such as Hawkerstown, now spelt Halkerton, and the hunting area, Kingsmuir,
which seems to have stretched from Halkerton to Dunnichen in the east. Several monarchs loved to enjoy the sport to be had on
the 70 royal estates, which stretched from the Carse of Gowrie in the south to the Mearns in the north.

Upon Antony Adriaan´s marriage, his father gave the house and lands of Inglishmaldie, with an annual income of £100. On 23 April1766, he released to his brothers and sisters his interest in the estates in Holland of Lord Halkerton and Rembt van Iddekinge, and went to Scotland, so that his children would be British subjects by virtue of their place of birth, a necessary step to ensure his right to inherit the title and lands of the Earl of Kintore*. Arriving in August 1766, at Inglismaldie, he soon began improving his estates. His lands included Halkerton, Powburg, Burnton, Inglismaldie, Newton, one third of Balmakelly, Canterland, Smiddyhill, Shiels, Barnhill, Collardoe, Glensaugh, Glenfarquhar, Corsbitte, Drumhendry, Capoch, all in Kincardineshire and Dunlappie in Augus. The value of his father´s lands in Scotland, about 1770, was about £9.836.
* Antony Adriaan became the 5th Earl of Kintore. The title Earl of Kintore was created in the Peerage of Scotland in 1677 for Sir John Keith, along with the title of Lord Keith of Inverurie and Keith Hall. At the death of William, the fourth Earl, in 1761 the earldom became dormant as no-one could prove a claim to it. In 1778, it was decided that the earldom should pass to Anthony Adrian Falconer, Lord Falconer of Halkerton, who changed his surname to Keith-Falconer. The Lordship of Falconer of Halkerton and the Earldom of Kintore remained united until 1966, when, at the death of the tenth Earl, the Lordship became dormant.

Alexander and his brother William were sent to Scotland at the beginning of 1770, in order to learn the language and customs of Scotland, indicating how thoroughly Dutch they were. They attended school in St. Andrews and at Perth Academy. In 1775 Alexander returned to Holland, where he intended to begin a mercantile carrier. it seems doubtful that he was successful in this objective, but he did secure a post as master of artillery at Groningen.

Note at Arthur
: 10th Earl of Kintore
Educated at Eton between 1892 and 1895, he joined the Scots Guards in 1899. He was lieutenant, serving between 1900 and 1902 in the South African War. He was promoted to the rank of captain in 1914 and served in World War I. He was attachι to the British legation to Buenos Aires in 1907. He had no issue, and his titles, except that of Lord Falconer of Halkerton, passed to his sister and then to her eldest son.
With the death of
Arthur George Keith-Falconer the title "Lord Falconer of Halkerton"
became dormant.
This means that an heir is believed to be alive, but it is
uncertain who the heir is.
It has to be the senior "heir-male",
meaning that all the senior male lines need to be proven extinct.
In theory, the claimant would petition the Lord Lyon, King of Arms, for a grant
of arms, claiming that he is the senior heir.
Foreigners can receive grants of arms from the Lord Lyon, King of Arms, if they
are the senior male-line descendant of a Scottish emigrant.
