BROADHEAD Family History
This unusual surname is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and has two distinct possible derivations. Firstly, it may belong to that sizeable group of early European surnames that were gradually created from the habitual use of nicknames, given with reference to a variety of personal characteristics, physical, mental and moral, or to habits of dress and occupation. The derivation, in this instance, is from the Olde English pre 7th Century "brad", broad, wide, with "heafod", head; hence, "Broad Head". It is possible that the second element may be the Old Scandinavian "hofud, hoved", for the Olde English "heafod", head, or the Olde English "hod", hood, and William Brodhod, noted in the 1327 Subsidy Rolls of Derbyshire, may have acquired the nickname from the habitual wearing of a broad hood.Select Audience
