The stride Surname
stride Name Meaning and History
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.
