Surname or Lastname
English
English : nickname from Old French tenche ‘tench’, a kind of freshwater fish; a ‘fat and sleek fish’ according to Reaney and Wilson.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : variant spelling of Wilson.
Surname or Lastname
English (Yorkshire)
English (Yorkshire) : in all probability from the Swale river in Yorkshire. (Reaney and Wilson list a 17th-century example, Swayles, with this origin.) Alternatively, it may be a metronymic from the Old Norse female personal name Svala.
Surname or Lastname
English (East Midlands)
English (East Midlands) : from the Middle English personal name Thurmond, Old Norse þormundr, composed of the elements þórr, name of the Norse god of thunder (see Thor) + mundr ‘protection’. Reaney and Wilson suggest that, Thurmond having been an uncommon personal name, this surname may also represent the commoner name Thurmod, Thormod with the second element derived from Old Norse móþr ‘mind’, ‘courage’, but assimilated to -mund (a common second element in other compound names).German (Thurmann) : habitational name for someone from a place called Thur (see Thur).German (Thurmann) : occupational name for a watchman, from Middle Low German torn(e)man (torn(e) ‘tower’) or Middle High German turn, turm ‘tower’ + man ‘man’.Respelling of Jewish (from Ukraine) Turman, a nickname from Yiddish turman ‘inconstant man’.
Surname or Lastname
English (chiefly West Midlands)
English (chiefly West Midlands) : occupational name denoting the servant (Middle English man) of a man called Hick. According to Reaney and Wilson, Hickman was also used as a medieval personal name. This surname has long been established in Ireland, notably in County Clare. In the U.S., it could be an altered spelling of German Hickmann, a variant of Hick 4.
Surname or Lastname
English (chiefly Lancashire)
English (chiefly Lancashire) : occupational name for a herdsman, a variant of Herdman (see Heard). (The change of -er- to -ar- was a regular phonetic pattern in Old French and Middle English.)English : from an unattested Old English personal name Heardmann, composed of the elements heard ‘hardy’, ‘brave’, ‘strong’ + mann ‘man’. According to Reaney and Wilson, compound names with this second element became common in late Old English in eastern England.Irish : of English origin (see above), but sometimes confused with Harman.Dutch : variant of Hardeman 2.Americanized spelling of German Hartmann.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : in part probably a metonymic occupational name for a soldier in charge of a catapult- or bow-like machine used for throwing heavy missiles, Old French espringalle, Anglo-French springalde. However, Reaney and Wilson, believe the Middle English word springal(d) (which appears to have contributed to the surname), to have a different derivation, perhaps a nickname for a young man, a stripling, from spring (see Spring).
Surname or Lastname
English
English : from Middle English stride ‘(long) pace’ (from stride(n) ‘to walk with long steps’), presumably a nickname for someone with long legs or whose gait had a purposeful air, although Reaney and Wilson suggest it may also have been a topographic name for someone who lived by a crossing point over a stream, presumably no wider than a stride. They cite as an example a place known as The Strid, in North Yorkshire.
Surname or Lastname
English (Suffolk)
English (Suffolk) : unexplained. This appears to be a variant of Lafflin, which Reaney and Wilson believe to be of Irish origin (see 2), but the high concentration of the modern name in Suffolk suggests that a different source is probably involved.Respelling of Irish Laughlin.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : according to Reaney and Wilson, this is from a Middle English personal name derived from an unattested Old English one, Tæbba. The surname is found mainly in Cornwall, so it could in fact be from a Cornish personal name.
Surname or Lastname
English (southern)
English (southern) : patronymic either from the personal name Simon (see Simon) or, as Reaney and Wilson suggest, from the medieval personal name Simund (composed of Old Norse sig ‘victory’ + mundr ‘protection’), which after the Norman Conquest was taken as an equivalent Simon, with the result that the two names became confused.
Surname or Lastname
English, Scottish, and northern Irish
English, Scottish, and northern Irish : patronymic from the personal name Will, a very common medieval short form of William.
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 : variant of Wiltshire.
Male
English
English patronymic surname transferred to forename use, WILSON means "son of Will."Â
Surname or Lastname
English (Kent)
English (Kent) : apparently a nickname from Middle English sterten ‘to leap or jump’ + up. Reaney and Wilson note that startup was the original form of ‘upstart’ and also the name of a kind of rustic boot and believe these senses may have contributed to the surname, although neither is recorded beofe the 16th century.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from any of several places so called (in Lancashire, Derbyshire, and West Yorkshire), which are named from Old English scyttel(s) ‘bar’, ‘bolt’ + worð ‘enclosure’. Reaney and Wilson give also Shuttlewood in Bolsover, Derbyshire, as a source of the surname.
Surname or Lastname
English
English : probably a variant of Skegg, which Reaney and Wilson describe as a nickname from Old Norse skegg ‘beard’; curiously, though, the modern surname occurs chiefly in Hertfordshire, with very little evidence of it in the north, where it might be expected to be concentrated.
Surname or Lastname
English (Norfolk)
English (Norfolk) : unexplained; perhaps a variant of Woolsey.Americanized spelling of Dutch Wiltse.Hendrick Wiltsee’s son Hendrick, born in 1746, spelled his surname Willse in adult life.
Surname or Lastname
Variant spelling of Norwegian Høgset(h) (see Hogsett).English
Variant spelling of Norwegian Høgset(h) (see Hogsett).English : Reaney and Wilson record a 17th-century example of this name in Devon. Evidently an uncomplimentary nickname meaning ‘hog’s head’, it is no longer found in the British Isles.
