Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hodder family history? The name Hodder finds its origins with the ancient Anglo-Saxons of England. It was given to one who worked as a maker of hoods. It was originally derived from the Old English hod, which meant hood. Thus, the original bearer of the name was a make of hoods. There is an alternative origin; the name may also be of a local derivation. There was a small hamlet in Yorkshire called Hodd. The examples of the family name from that county are probably of local derivation. This make the surname a polygenetic name; that is, it has more than one origin.The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Hodder has been recorded under many different variations, including Hodder, Hoddar, Hooder, Hoder, Hoader, Hoodar and others. First found in Essex where they held a family seat from early times.

 MoreThe motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Per ignem ferris vicimus Motto Translation: Even through fire have we conquered with our sword.
