Booth Family History
Booth Name Meaning
Northern English and Scottish: topographic name for someone who
lived in a small hut or bothy, Middle English both(e),
especially a cowman or shepherd. The word is of Scandinavian origin
(compare Old Danish both, Old Norse buð) and
was used to denote various kinds of temporary shelter, typically a
cowshed or a herdsman’s hut. In the British Isles the surname is still
more common in northern England, where Scandinavian influence was more
marked, and in Scotland, where the word was borrowed into Gaelic as
both(an).
