 England Early Origins of the Scarfe familyThe surname Scarfe was first found in Yorkshire, where the name first appeared in the 13th century. The name Scarfe is either a nickname, or of ornamental origin. It comes from the old Norse word "skarfr," meaning "cormorant," a kind of large, black seabird. The name was probably given to its first bearer because of some imagined resemblance to the bird in question. It is also possible that the name had no real significance whatsoever, and was purely ornamental. Early History of the Scarfe familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Scarfe research.
