Early Origins of the Comberworthey family

The surname Comberworthey was first found in West Yorkshire at Upper Cumberworth or Lower Cumberworth, both small villages that date back collectively to the Domesday Book of 1086 where they were listed as Cumbreuurde. 1 Alternatively, the surname's origin could lie in Cumberworth, a small village and civil parish in the East Lindsey district of Lincolnshire. This local was listed as Combreuorde in the Domesday Book. 1 In all cases, the place names derive their origin from the Old English personal name "Cumbre" + "worth" as in "enclosure of a man called Cumbra, or of the Britons." 2
