Origins Available: English, German, Swiss Where did the English Hudder family come from? What is the English Hudder family crest and coat of arms? When did the Hudder family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hudder family history? The name Hudder is Anglo-Saxon in origin. It was a name given to 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.Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Hudder include Hodder, Hoddar, Hooder, Hoder, Hoader, Hoodar and others. First found in Essex where they held a family seat from early times.

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Hudder were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: Edwin Hodder brought his family to land he purchased in Pennsylvania and joined a large group of English settlers who arrived in 1635. Though Pennsylvania was the main stopping place for the Hodder name, other members of the family ventured to New York, Massachusetts and Virginia. In Newfoundland, John Hodder settled in Trinity Bay in 1780. The 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.
The Hudder Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Hudder Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:40. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
