- Origins Available:
 England
The ancestors of the bearers of the Huththwate family name are thought have lived in ancient Anglo-Saxon England. They were first found in the village of Houthwait which is now referred to as Heathwaite in the region of Furness. Huththwate 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 Huththwate familyThe surname Huththwate 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 Huththwate familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Huththwate research.

Huththwate Spelling VariationsUntil quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Huththwate include Huthwaite, Huthwait, Houthwait, Houthwaite, Husthayt, Hothwayt and many more.

Migration of the Huththwate familySearching for a better life, many English families migrated to British colonies. Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Huththwate or a variant listed above: members who immigrated to the New World in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries.
