The shuford Surname
shuford Name Meaning and History
Origin unidentified. Perhaps an altered form of Shefford, an
English habitational name from Shefford in Bedfordshire, or Great or
East Shefford in Berkshire, all named with Old English sceap
‘sheep’ + ford ‘ford’. Alternatively, it could be an
Americanized form of French Chuffard, probably derived from the
dialect word chuffer ‘to call’, and hence a nickname for a
(town) crier.
