The history of the last name Neatrour

The surname Neatrour has its origins in England, tracing back to the late medieval period. It is believed to be derived from the Old English words "nēat" meaning cattle, and "rūn" meaning an enclosure or paddock. This suggests that the name may have been occupational in nature, referring to someone who tended cattle or kept them in an enclosure.

Records from the 13th and 14th centuries show variations in spelling, such as Netrour, Neetroure, and Neatroure, indicating the name's evolution over time. One of the earliest documented instances of the name is found in the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire from 1327, where a John Neatrour is mentioned as a taxpayer.

In the 15th century, the Neatrour family is known to have resided in the village of Hartlebury, Worcestershire. A notable figure from this time was William Neatrour (c. 1420 - 1489), a prosperous landowner and farmer who left a substantial inheritance to his descendants.

During the Tudor period, the name appears in various parish records and court documents across England. One such example is Thomas Neatrour (c. 1510 - 1578), a merchant from Bristol who traded in wool and cloth. His will, dated 1578, provides valuable insights into his life and business dealings.

The Neatrour surname also has connections to several place names in England, such as Neatrour's Field, a piece of land mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and Neatrour's Well, a former water source in the village of Longparish, Hampshire.

In the 17th century, the name gained prominence with the exploits of Captain John Neatrour (1625 - 1688), a renowned sailor and privateer who served in the English Navy during the Anglo-Dutch Wars. His daring exploits at sea earned him a place in historical accounts of the time.
