Surname or Lastname
English (Devon)
English (Devon) : unexplained. Reaney and Wilson suggest that this may be from an Anglo-Scandinavian personal name Tukka, but the distribution in England makes a Scandinavian connection unlikely.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from Dearham in Cumbria or Dyrham in Gloucestershire, named from Old English dÄ“or ‘deer’ + hÄm ‘settlement’, ‘homestead’, or hamm ‘enclosure hemmed in by water’, ‘river meadow’. There are places in Norfolk called East and West Dereham, which have the same etymology. However, the present-day distribution of the surname suggests that they probably did not contribute to the surname.Irish (mainly Dublin, Drogheda, and Cork) : of English origin, but MacLysaght takes this to be a variant of Durham.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name for someone from a place called Elham, in Kent, or a lost place of this name in Crayford, Kent. The first is derived from Old English Ç£l ‘eel’ + hÄm ‘homestead’ or hamm ‘enclosure hemmed in by water’. There is also an Elam Grange in Bingley, West Yorkshire, but the current distribution of the name in the British Isles suggests that it did not contribute significantly to the surname.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from either of two places in Devon named Hunnacott, from either the Old English personal name HunÄ or Old English hunig ‘honey’ + cot ‘cottage’. There is also a place named Huncoat in Lancashire, which has the same origin, but the distribution of the surname in England suggests that it probably did not contribute to the surname.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from the place in Bedfordshire (named in Old English as ‘settlement (Old English tūn) on the (river) Lea’), or, more plausibly in view of the pattern of distribution, from Luton in Devon (near Teignmouth), named in Old English as ‘Lēofgifu’s settlement’ (from an Old English female personal name composed of the elements lēof ‘dear’, ‘beloved’ + gifu ‘gift’). A further possible source of the name is Luton in Kent, named as the ‘settlement of Lēofa’.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : apparently a habitational name from places named Rushford in Devon, Norfolk, and Warwickshire. However, in view of the present-day distribution of the surname, a more likely source is Ryshworth in Bingley, West Yorkshire, which was earlier called Rushford (from Old English rysc ‘rushes’ + ford ‘ford’).
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from any of various places named with this word: Hazleton Bottom (Hertfordshire), Hazleton Wood (Essex), or Hazelton (Gloucestershire), which is named from Old English hæsel ‘hazel’ + tūn ‘farmstead’, ‘settlement’. The present-day distribution of the surname points to the places in Essex and Gloucester as the likely sources.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : of uncertain derivation. The 18th-century parish registers of Marske, North Yorkshire, record the surname Hartburn with the variant Harburn; Harben may be a further variant of this. If so, its origin is probably topographic or habitational, from East Hartburn in Stockton-on-Tees or Hartburn in Northumberland, both named from Old English heorot ‘hart’ + burna ‘steam’. However, this conjecture is not borne out by the distribution of the surname a century later, when it occurs chiefly in Cambridgeshire and London and also with a significant presence in the Channel Islands, perhaps suggesting that it could be a variant of Harpin.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : of uncertain origin. Reaney suggests that it may be habitational name from Wincheap Street in Canterbury, but this origin is not supported by the present-day distribution of the surname, which is heavily concentrated in northeastern England.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from a place in Devon, recorded in Domesday Book as Loba, apparently a topographical term meaning perhaps ‘lump’, ‘hill’, the village being situated at the bottom of a hill. There is also a place of the same name in Oxfordshire (recorded in 1208 as Lobbe), but the historical and contemporary distribution of the surname (which is still largely restricted to Devon), makes it unlikely that it ever derived from this place, or from Middle English, Old English lobbe ‘spider’.
Surname or Lastname
English (Lincolnshire)
English (Lincolnshire) : unexplained. Black identified this as a Scottish name of Pictish origin. However, the modern distribution of the surname, almost exclusively in Lincolnshire and adjoining counties, suggests a more localized eastern English origin.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from places in Lancashire and Sussex. The former seems from the present-day distribution of the surname to be the major source, and is named from Old English scingel ‘shingle(s)’ + tūn ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’; the latter gets its name from Old English sengel ‘burnt clearing’ + tūn.
Surname or Lastname
English (Lancashire)
English (Lancashire) : habitational name from a place so called, perhaps Forshaw Heath in Solihull, Warwickshire, although the modern distribution is much further north.
Surname or Lastname
English (Yorkshire)
English (Yorkshire) : apparently a habitational name from a lost or unidentified minor place in West Yorkshire, probably in the parish of Halifax, to judge by the distribution of early occurrences of the surname.
Surname or Lastname
English (West Yorkshire)
English (West Yorkshire) : topographic name for someone who lived in a long valley, from Middle English long + botme, bothem ‘valley bottom’. Given the surname’s present-day distribution, Longbottom in Luddenden Foot, West Yorkshire, may be the origin, but there are also two places called Long Bottom in Hampshire, two in Wiltshire, and Longbottom Farm in Somerset and in Wiltshire.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from a place named in Old English with hÄlig ‘holy’ + Old English feld ‘open country’. This may be Holyfield in Essex (which belonged to Waltham Abbey), but the present-day distribution of the name (mainly in the Midlands and Wales) suggests that another source may be involved.
Surname or Lastname
English (chiefly West Midlands)
English (chiefly West Midlands) : habitational name from any of the various places so called, from Old English sūð ‘south’ + halh ‘nook’, ‘recess’. The distribution of the surname in Britain makes a Midlands origin likely: places called Southall in Doverdale, Worcestershire, and Billingsley, Shropshire, are possible sources.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from a place in West Yorkshire, probably named with the genitive case of the Old English personal name StÄn ‘stone’, a byname or short form of any of various compound names with this as the first element (compare, for example, Stammer, Stannard) + Old English feld ‘pasture’, ‘open country’.English : alternatively, it may be a topographic name from Middle English stanesfeld ‘open country of the (standing) stone’, with reference to a prominent monolith. There are other places so called, for example in Suffolk, but the distribution suggests that the one in Yorkshire is the source of the surname.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from places so called in North Yorkshire, Hampshire, and Kent. The Yorkshire place is named from the Old English personal name Hūna + tūn ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’; that in Hampshire from the genitive plural of hund ‘hound’ + tūn ‘enclosure’, ‘settlement’; and the Kentish place from Old English huntena, genitive plural of hunta ‘hunter’ + dūn ‘hill’. The present-day distribution shows clusters in North and South Yorkshire, and also in Norfolk.
Surname or Lastname
English (Cambridge)
English (Cambridge) : unexplained; perhaps a habitational name from a lost or unidentified place. There are two places in England called Warland, in Durham and West Yorkshire, but the distribution of the modern surname suggests that a different souce is most probably involved.
