The hendy Surname
hendy Name Meaning and History
English (mainly West Country): nickname for a pleasant and affable
man, from Middle English hende ‘courteous’, ‘kind’,
‘gentle’. Hendy was also sometimes used as a personal name in
the Middle Ages and some examples of the surname may derive from this
rather than from the nickname. The surname is also found in Ireland.
