Where did the English Mahood family come from? What is the English Mahood family crest and coat of arms? When did the Mahood family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Mahood family history? The name Mahood finds its origins with the ancient Anglo-Saxons of England. It was given to one who worked as a maker of hoods. The surname Mahood is derived from the Old English words hod, hud, hood, and hodde, which all come from the Old English word hod, which means hood. Occasionally, Mahood may be a local surname derived from the settlement of Hood in Rattery in Devon.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. Mahood has been recorded under many different variations, including Hood, Hoods, Hude, Hud, Hudd, Hode, Hoode and others. First found in Devon where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed.
