The surname Brackleyhurst is generally thought to be of toponymic origin, from a place name located near Accrington, Lancashire. The name is made up of three elements "brock," or "broc" in Middle English, which means "badger," "le," which is most likely a reduction of "hole" or "hollow," and "hurst," or "hyrst" in Old English which denotes a wooded hill. Thus together, this name describes some sort of clearing in the woods, where badgers lived.
The surname Brackleyhurst was first found in the Lancashire Assize Roll where a Ralph de Brockolhurst is mentioned in 1246, Robert de Brokhollhurst is mentioned 1247, a bearer of Brocholehurste is listed in 1294, and a Brocholehirst in 1296.
