The history of the last name Hollandsworth

The surname Hollandsworth originates from England, likely emerging during the medieval period between the 11th and 15th centuries. It is believed to be a locational name, derived from a place name referencing a person or family residing near or in an area associated with Holland. The suffix "-worth" typically denotes an enclosed or fortified dwelling.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Hollandsworth can be found in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire from 1327, where it appears as "Holandeswurth." This suggests the name's origins may lie in the West Midlands region of England. Similar spellings include "Hollandesworth" and "Hollandsworth."

In the 16th century, the Hollandsworth name appears in various parish records across counties like Gloucestershire and Worcestershire. Notable individuals from this era include William Hollandsworth, born in 1542 in Gloucestershire, and John Hollandsworth, baptized in 1589 in Worcestershire.

As the name spread throughout England, it is possible that some branches adopted variations or anglicized spellings. For example, the Domesday Book of 1086 mentions a place called "Holandevrd" in Shropshire, which may have been a precursor to the Hollandsworth name.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the Hollandsworth name continued to appear in various records, such as marriage registers and property deeds. One notable figure was Robert Hollandsworth, born in 1674 in Gloucestershire, who served as a local magistrate.

In the 19th century, the Hollandsworth name gained prominence with individuals like Sir William Hollandsworth (1812-1897), a prominent industrialist and landowner in the West Midlands, and Mary Hollandsworth (1838-1918), a renowned author and poet from Worcestershire.

Throughout its history, the Hollandsworth surname has maintained a strong presence in England, particularly in the West Midlands and surrounding counties.
