Spilsbury Family History
Spilsbury Name Meaning
English (Staffordshire): habitational name from Spelsbury (Oxfordshire) and perhaps also from Spilsbury Hill in Mamble (Worcestershire). The Oxfordshire placename derives from an Old English personal name Spēol (genitive Spēoles) + Old English burg ‘fortress’. The Worcestershire placename probably shares the same etymology though it is possible that it derives from the name of the family instead.
