The surname Isennock is of English origin, with roots tracing back to the 13th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "isen" and "ock," meaning "iron" and "oak," respectively. This suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone who lived near an iron-producing oak forest or worked with iron in some capacity.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Subsidy Rolls of Warwickshire from 1332, where a certain William Isennock is listed as a taxpayer. This indicates that the Isennock family had already established itself in the Warwickshire region by the 14th century.

In the 15th century, the name appeared in various forms, such as Isennocker and Isennokker, reflecting the variations in spelling common during that era. The Parish Records of Stratford-upon-Avon, dated 1489, mention a John Isennocker, who may have been a resident of the area.

During the 16th century, the Isennock name gained prominence in the county of Gloucestershire. In 1543, a Thomas Isennock was recorded as a landowner in the village of Naunton, near Cheltenham. This suggests that the family had achieved a certain degree of wealth and status by that time.

One notable figure bearing the Isennock name was Sir William Isennock (1567-1643), a wealthy merchant and alderman in the city of Bristol. He served as the Mayor of Bristol in 1624 and played a significant role in the city's governance and trade during the early part of the 17th century.

Another prominent individual was Elizabeth Isennock (1628-1698), a renowned herbalist and healer from the village of Stow-on-the-Wold in Gloucestershire. Her expertise in traditional medicine earned her a reputation that extended beyond her local community.

In the 18th century, the name Isennock appeared in various parish records across the counties of Gloucestershire, Warwickshire, and Oxfordshire, indicating the family's continued presence in the region.
