The surridge Surname
surridge Name Meaning and History
- from a Middle English personal name, Seric, which represents a coalescence of two Old English personal names, S?ric (composed of s? ‘sea’ + ric ‘power’) and Sigeric (composed sige ‘victory’ + ric ‘power’). This would normally have given modern English Serrich, but the form has been altered under the influence of Old French surreis ‘southerner’ (see 2 below).
- regional name for someone who had migrated from the South, from Old French surreis ‘southerner’.
- habitational name from a place in the parish of Morebath, Devon, so named from Old English suð ‘south’ + hrycg ‘ridge’.
