 England
The origins of the Hasselhurst name lie with England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived in one of the settlements called Hazelhurst in Lancashire, Surrey, or Sussex, or near any woodland noted for its hazel trees. Thus, the surname Hasselhurst belongs to both the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads, and to the class of topographic surnames, which were given to people who resided near physical features such as hills, streams, churches, or types of trees.

Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.
