The history of the last name Hadnot

The surname HADNOT is an English locational name that originated in the medieval period. It derives from a place name meaning "had not" or "had naught," suggesting that the family may have come from an area of little wealth or resources.

Records indicate that the HADNOT name first appeared in the county of Somerset, England in the late 13th century. Some of the earliest references to this name can be found in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset from 1327, where it is spelled variants like "Haddenought" and "Haddenought."

By the 15th century, the spelling had evolved closer to its modern form, with records from the Pipe Rolls of Devon in 1425 showing "Hadnott" and "Hadnotte." The HADNOT family likely migrated from Somerset to neighboring counties like Devon during this time.

One of the earliest known bearers of the HADNOT surname was Richard Hadnot, born around 1480 in Cheddar, Somerset. He was a wealthy landowner and is recorded in the Somerset Feet of Fines in 1510.

The HADNOT name also surfaced in Yorkshire in the 1600s. Henry Hadnot, born in 1615 in Guisborough, Yorkshire, was a prosperous merchant and alderman recorded in local parish registers.

In 1692, John Hadnot was listed as a Freeman of the City of York, indicating his rights as a tradesman or burgess. His son William Hadnot, born in 1698, became a respected solicitor in York.

By the 18th century, HADNOTs could be found across various English counties. Notable figures include Thomas Hadnot (1725-1795), a renowned horticulturist from Warwickshire who introduced several new plant species to England from the Americas.
