Etymology of Middlebrooks

What does the name Middlebrooks mean?

The Middlebrooks surname is derived from Middle English word "middel," meaning "middle," and "broke," meaning a brook or stream. Thus it was likely originally a name for someone who lived by a stream called by this name.

Early Origins of the Middlebrooks family

The surname Middlebrooks was first found in Kent where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1334 when Thomas of Middlebroke held estates in that county.
