The history of the last name Aydelott

The surname AYDELOTT has its origins in England, first appearing in records dating back to the late 12th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old English words "ealdæn" and "holt," meaning "old wood" or "ancient forest." This suggests the name may have originally referred to someone who lived near or worked in an old wooded area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name is found in the Pipe Rolls of Gloucestershire from 1198, which mention a person named Richard de Aldeholt. Similar spellings from that era include Aldeholt, Aldehulte, and Aldehulle.

In the 13th century, the AYDELOTT name appears in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire, where a landowner named William de Aldehull is listed. This record provides evidence that some bearers of the name held property and status during that period.

By the 14th century, the spelling had evolved closer to its modern form, with examples such as John Aydelhote appearing in the Court Rolls of Wiltshire in 1349. This was around the time of the Black Death pandemic, which likely had an impact on the distribution and prevalence of the name.

One notable figure with the surname was Sir William Aydelott, a member of the English gentry who lived in the late 15th century. He is recorded as owning lands in Gloucestershire and Wiltshire.

Another historical figure was Robert Aydelott, a merchant and alderman who lived in Bristol during the 16th century (born around 1520). He was involved in the city's thriving trade and served in local government.

In the 17th century, the name can be found in parish records across various counties, including Thomas Aydelott, baptized in Deddington, Oxfordshire in 1632, and Mary Aydelott, who married in Warwickshire in 1678.

Moving into the 18th century, the AYDELOTT surname continued to be present in England, with individuals such as John Aydelott (born 1712) appearing in records from Gloucestershire.

While not exhaustive, these examples demonstrate the long history and evolution of the AYDELOTT surname, originating from its Old English roots and persisting through various regions of England over several centuries.
