Freak Surname HistoryEarly Origins of the Freak familyThe surname Freak was first found in Norfolk where Richard de la Fryth was recorded in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 in Norfolk. 1 Another source lists John atte Frithe in Norfolk but no date is given. 2 Later, the Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 listed Thomas atte Fryth. 1 "Robert Firth was the name of two mayors of Doncaster [Yorkshire] in the reigns of Henry VII. and Henry VIII., and the name is still in the town." 3 Further to the north in Scotland where most people claim descent, "there is a place named Firth near Lilliesleaf, Roxburghshire." 4 The name of this town in turn comes from the ancient word "firth" meaning "bay."
