Crowfoot Family History

Crowfoot Surname Meaning

Apparently meaning ‘crow foot’, although Middle English croue(s)fot was also a name for the buttercup. Compare John Hennefot (‘hen foot’) 1306 in Inquisitiones post Mortem (Gloucs); John Cayfot (‘jackdaw foot’) 1275 in Subsidy Rolls (Worcs); Roger Pefot (‘peacock foot’) 1202 in Pleas (Cambs).

Absence of medieval evidence for the surname is a difficulty, and an alternative explanation as an altered form of another name such as Crawford may need to be found.

Compare Barth'o de Crofford 1327 in Subsidy Rolls (Aldborough Suffolk) but the origin of this name is unknown.
