It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Hoo are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Hoo include: Hoo, Hooe, Hou, Whoo, Ho and others.

First found in on the southeastern coast of England, where evidence suggests they held a family seat before the Norman Conquest.

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Hoo or a variant listed above: C. Hoe, who sailed to Virginia in 1655; John Hoe to Barbados in 1694; Mary and Richard Hoe to New York in 1820 with five children.
