Sudbury Name Meaning
English:: habitational name from any of the three places called Sudbury (Derbyshire Middlesex Suffolk) or from Sudborough (Northamptonshire) all of which are named with Old English sūth ‘south southern’ + burg ‘fortified place’ or ‘manor’. habitational name from Chipping Little or Old Sodbury (Gloucestershire). The placename derives from an Old English personal name Soppa (genitive Soppan) + Old English burg ‘fortress’. This surname does not appear to have survived unless Sobey is an altered form of it but this is quite uncertain.
