The history of the last name Scandrick

The surname Scandrick is believed to have its origins in England, dating back to the 16th century. It is thought to be a locational name derived from an old English place name, possibly referring to a scandic or wooded area.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Parish records of Gloucestershire in 1593, where a William Scandrick was listed. Another early reference appears in the Hearth Tax Rolls of Yorkshire in 1672, mentioning a John Scandrick.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, variations in the spelling of the name emerged, including Scandricke, Skandrick, and Scandricke. These alternate spellings were often used interchangeably and reflected regional differences in pronunciation and record-keeping practices.

Notable individuals with the surname Scandrick include Sir Thomas Scandrick (1620-1690), a prominent landowner and politician in Oxfordshire. Another individual of note was Elizabeth Scandrick (1675-1743), a respected writer and poet from Derbyshire.

In the 19th century, the name appears in several historical documents, such as the 1851 Census of England and Wales, which lists a family of Scandricks residing in the county of Warwickshire. Additionally, the 1881 Census records a John Scandrick (1815-1892), a successful merchant and philanthropist from Liverpool.

Another significant figure was William Scandrick (1830-1911), a renowned architect who designed several notable buildings in London, including St. Paul's Church in Covent Garden and the Royal Academy of Arts.

While the name Scandrick may have originated in England, it has since spread to other parts of the world, likely due to migration and immigration patterns.
