Etymology of HadesWhat does the name Hades mean? Hades is an Anglo-Saxon name. The name was originally given to a person who made or sold hats. 1 2 3 4 The surname Hades is derived from the Old English word hætt, which means hat. Occupational names frequently were derived from the principal object associated with the activity of the original bearer, such as tools or products. These types of occupational surnames are called metonymic surnames. The surname Hades may also be derived from residence by a hill, since the Old English word hætt, also means hill. Hathitch Farm and Hathouse Farm are both in Worcestershire, and may be sources of the surname Hades. Early Origins of the Hades familyThe surname Hades was first found in Dorset, England where Randulf Hat was recorded in the Pipe Rolls of 1168. Later Richard atte Hatte was listed in the Subsidy Rolls for Worcestershire in 1327. 5 The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 included entries for: Thomas del Hat, Oxfordshire; Henry Hat, Wiltshire; and William Hat, Norfolk. 2 Another source has a different origin of the family: "Hatt and Hutt may be in most cases a contraction of Hiatt, also an Oxfordshire name. In the 13th century we find Hat in Oxfordshire and Wilts, and Hut in Oxfordshire, where it is associated with Le Hurt." 6 Early History of the Hades familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hades research.

| Hades migration to the United States | + |
At this time, the shores of the New World beckoned many English families that felt that the social climate in England was oppressive and lacked opportunity for change. Thousands left England at great expense in ships that were overcrowded and full of disease. A great portion of these settlers never survived the journey and even a greater number arrived sick, starving, and without a penny. The survivors, however, were often greeted with greater opportunity than they could have experienced back home. These English settlers made significant contributions to those colonies that would eventually become the United States and Canada. An examination of early immigration records and passenger ship lists revealed that people bearing the name Hades arrived in North America very early:
