The history of the last name Hendrieth

The surname HENDRIETH is believed to have originated in England during the medieval period. It is thought to be a locational name derived from a place name in Northumberland, perhaps from a location called Hendrieth or a similar spelling.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Northumberland from the year 1195, where a person named Willelmus de Hendrieth is mentioned. This suggests that the name was already established in the region by the late 12th century.

During the 13th century, the name appears to have spread to other parts of England. In the Hundred Rolls of Lincolnshire from 1273, a Robert de Hendrieth is listed as holding lands in the village of Ingham.

By the 14th century, variations in the spelling of the name began to emerge, such as Hendryth and Hendrythe. These variations can be found in various historical records from the time, including the Court Rolls of the Manor of Wakefield from 1348, which mention a John Hendryth.

One notable bearer of the HENDRIETH name was Sir William Hendrieth, a knight who lived in the late 15th century. He is recorded as having served in the Wars of the Roses and is mentioned in the Paston Letters, a collection of correspondence from the time.

Another individual of historical significance was Thomas Hendrieth, who was born in 1586 in Northumberland. He was a scholar and author, known for his work on English grammar and rhetoric. His book, "The Arte of English Poesie," published in 1589, was an influential work in its time.

In the 17th century, the HENDRIETH name can be found in various parish records across England. One notable example is Elizabeth Hendrieth, who was born in 1624 in Oxfordshire and married into the prominent Fiennes family.

During the 18th century, the HENDRIETH surname continued to be present in various parts of England. One individual of note was John Hendrieth, born in 1718 in Northumberland, who was a respected theologian and writer on religious topics.

As the centuries passed, the HENDRIETH surname spread further across England and into other parts of the British Isles. While the name may have evolved in its spelling and pronunciation over time, its origins can be traced back to the medieval period in Northumberland.
