The Meaning of the name Gehrke

I took a German class in college and asked the prof. what the meaning of my then last name was - he suggested that my ancestors were probably in the pickling business or did a lot of pickling (Gehrke = Gherken = pickles).I am not sure of the validity of that, but it may be a start.
