Shorthouse is an ancient Anglo-Saxon name. It was a name given to a person who was a person who was given the nickname of Short-hose, due to the fact that this individual wore half hose which reached the top of the knee, rather than covering the whole leg. This nickname was given to Sir Thomas Woodcock, Lord Mayor of London in 1405 for this very reason.

However, before its invention even the most literate people recorded their names according to sound rather than spelling. The spelling variations under which the name Shorthouse has appeared include Shorthouse, Shortus, Shorthose, Shortis and others.First found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest in 1066.

This is a small excerpt from our full listing of settlers for the name Shorthouse. Our PDF Extended History provide the complete listing from our dbase of over 500,000 settlers!
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Shorthouse arrived in North America very early:
Shorthouse Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
- Thomas Shorthouse who arrived in Philadelphia in 1797
Shorthouse Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
- Thomas Shorthouse arrived in New York in 1822
- Samuel Shorthouse, who landed in San Francisco, Cal in 1856
