Winkworth Family History

Winkworth Surname Meaning

from Winkworth Farm in Lea (Wilts) which is recorded as Winkeworthe in 1248. It is also possible that the surname is from Winkworth Farm in Godalming (Surrey) considering the presence of medieval bearers in the county but there are no medieval forms for this place-name and so the early bearers in Surrey may be migrants from the Wilts place who later gave their name to the place in Surrey.

The Wilts place-name derives from an Old English personal name *Wineca + Old English worð ‘enclosure’.
