The history of the last name Hade

The surname HADE is of English origin and can be traced back to the Anglo-Saxon period, specifically the 11th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old English word "hād," which means "person, personality, or individual." This suggests that the name may have originally been a descriptive nickname given to someone with a distinctive or remarkable personality.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname HADE can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, which was a comprehensive survey of land and property ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror. In this historic record, the name appears as "Hada," which is likely an early variant spelling.

During the medieval period, the name seems to have been concentrated in the counties of Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire in the East Midlands region of England. Some notable individuals from this time include William Hade, a landowner mentioned in the Lincolnshire Assize Rolls of 1202, and Robert Hade, a freeman recorded in the Nottinghamshire Borough Records of 1275.

As time passed, the surname evolved into various spellings, such as Hade, Hades, and Haides, reflecting regional dialect variations and scribal inconsistencies in record-keeping. One notable bearer of the name was John Hade, a merchant and alderman in the city of York, who lived in the 15th century.

In the 16th century, the HADE surname was found in various parts of England, including the counties of Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Yorkshire. One prominent figure from this era was Sir Nicholas Hade, a wealthy landowner and Member of Parliament for Grimsby in 1553.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the HADE name continued to be represented across England, particularly in the Midlands and northern regions. Some notable individuals from this period include William Hade, a renowned clockmaker from Lincolnshire born in 1652, and John Hade, a respected mathematician and astronomer from Yorkshire, born in 1711.

As the centuries progressed, members of the HADE family dispersed to other parts of the British Isles and eventually to other parts of the world, carrying their surname with them. However, the name's roots can be traced back to its Anglo-Saxon origins and its early presence in the East Midlands region of England.
