 England
The name Huththwaite is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in the village of Houthwait which is now referred to as Heathwaite in the region of Furness. Huththwaite is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. Early Origins of the Huththwaite familyThe surname Huththwaite was first found in North Lancashire, where Heathwaite is still a township in the parish of Kirkby-Ireleth. Another local in Cumberland is now lost, but Huthwaite is still a small village in Nottinghamshire. 1 Early History of the Huththwaite familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Huththwaite research.

Huththwaite Spelling VariationsIt is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Huththwaite 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 Huththwaite include: Huthwaite, Huthwait, Houthwait, Houthwaite, Husthayt, Hothwayt and many more.

Migration of the Huththwaite familyMany 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 Huththwaite or a variant listed above: members who immigrated to the New World in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
