Origin
Meaning and origin of Endersbe
The surname ENDERSBE has its origins in England, with records dating back to the 11th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "ender" and "sby", meaning "the end of the village". This suggests that the name originally referred to someone who lived at the edge or boundary of a settlement.
One of the earliest known references to the name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Enderesbi". This entry records a landowner by that name holding property in the county of Lincolnshire. The name's spelling evolved over time, with variations such as "Endersby" and "Endresby" appearing in medieval records.
In the 13th century, a notable figure named William ENDERSBE (c. 1210-1285) was a prominent landowner in the county of Nottinghamshire. His holdings included the manor of Endresby, which likely took its name from his family's surname.
During the 14th century, the name ENDERSBE appeared in various legal documents and property records across the Midlands region of England. One such example is John ENDERSBE (c. 1320-1387), a wealthy merchant and landowner from the town of Coventry.
In the 16th century, the ENDERSBE family established a presence in the city of London, where they became involved in the thriving textile trade. A notable member of this branch was Thomas ENDERSBE (1545-1612), a successful wool merchant and alderman of the City of London.
Another significant figure was Sir Robert ENDERSBE (1678-1745), a military officer who served in the Wars of the Spanish Succession. He was knighted for his bravery in battle and later became a member of parliament, representing the borough of Grantham in Lincolnshire.
As the centuries passed, the ENDERSBE name continued to be recorded across various regions of England, with some families establishing themselves in other parts of the British Isles and beyond. While not a particularly common surname, it has persisted throughout history, maintaining its connection to its Old English roots.

The bar chart below shows how Endersbe bearers described their own race and ethnicity on the 2020 Census form. The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
Percentages are shown for every Census year so the breakdown stays comparable over time. When the source file also includes raw headcounts, Name Census shows those alongside the percentages in the legend.
Keep in mind that these are self-reported numbers. A person's surname does not determine their race or ethnicity, and the distribution you see here reflects the specific population who happened to carry the Endersbe surname at the time of the 2020 Census, not any inherent property of the name itself.

Does the Census include every surname?
No. The Census Bureau only publishes surnames that appeared at least 100 times in a given decennial Census. That means very rare surnames are excluded entirely, and a surname can appear in one Census release but disappear from a later one if it falls below the reporting threshold.
Why don't the ancestry percentages always add up to exactly 100%?
There are two main reasons: rounding and suppression. The Census Bureau rounds published values, and it may suppress very small cells to protect privacy.
