Holbrook Family History
Holbrook Name Meaning
English: habitational name from any of various places, for example
in Derbyshire, Dorset, and Suffolk, so called from Old English
hol ‘hollow’, ‘sunken’ + broc ‘stream’. The name has
probably absorbed the Dutch surname van Hoobroek, found in
London in the early 17th century, and possibly a similar Low German
surname (Holbrock or Halbrock). Several American bearers
of the name in the 1880 census give their place of birth as Oldenburg
or Hannover, Germany.
