Lockwood Family History
Lockwood Name Meaning
English: habitational name from a place in West Yorkshire, probably
named in Old English as ‘enclosed wood’, from loc(a)
‘enclosure’ (see Lock) + wudu ‘wood’. It seems likely
that all present-day bearers of the name descend from a single family
which originated in this place. There is another place of the same
name in Cleveland, first recorded in 1273 as Locwyt, from Old
English loc(a) + Old Norse viðr ‘wood’, ‘brake’, but
it is not clear whether it has given rise to a surname.
