Other names for a "potluck" include: potluck dinner, pitch-in, shared lunch, spread, faith supper, carry-in dinner, covered-dish-supper, fuddle, Jacob's Join, bring a plate, and fellowship meal.

The modern execution of a "communal meal, where guests bring their own food", most likely originated in the 1930s during the Great Depression. Some speakers believe that it is an eggcorn of the North American indigenous communal meal known as a '' potlatch'' (meaning "to give away").
