The history of the last name Naldrett

The surname Naldrett is of English origin, tracing its roots back to the medieval period. It is believed to be a locational name derived from the place name "Naldrett," which referred to a small hamlet or village in the county of Staffordshire. This place name is likely a combination of the Old English words "nald" meaning "bend" or "winding path," and "reth" meaning "stream" or "small watercourse."

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Naldrett surname can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Staffordshire, dating back to the late 12th century. These rolls, which were administrative records maintained by the English Crown, mention a landowner named William de Naldrett in the year 1198.

In the 13th century, the name appeared in the Chartulary of the Priory of St. Thomas the Martyr near Stafford, where a certain Roger de Naldrett is mentioned as a witness to a land transaction in 1256. This chartulary, a manuscript containing transcripts of charters and other legal documents, provides valuable insight into the regional distribution of the Naldrett surname during that era.

Another noteworthy figure is Sir Edward Naldrett, a military officer who served in the English Civil War. Born in 1605 in Staffordshire, he fought for the Royalist cause under King Charles I and was knighted for his bravery on the battlefield in 1643.
