The history of the last name Haddix

The surname HADDIX has its origins in England, and can be traced back to the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "haedd," meaning heath or heather, and "wic," meaning a dwelling or village. This suggests that the name HADDIX initially referred to someone who lived in a settlement near a heathland or heather-covered area.

One of the earliest known references to the name HADDIX appears in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire in 1327, where a John Haddewyk is listed. This indicates that variations in spelling, such as Haddewyk, Hadwyk, and Haddewyk, were common in the early days of the surname's usage.

The HADDIX surname is also linked to various place names in England, particularly in the counties of Worcestershire, Gloucestershire, and Herefordshire. For instance, the village of Haddick in Worcestershire is believed to have influenced the spelling and pronunciation of the surname.

In the 15th century, records show a Thomas Haddyx serving as a church warden in the parish of St. Mary's, Warwick, further solidifying the presence of the surname in the Midlands region of England.
