Bythesea Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) Dweller By the Sea [Old English bí pœre sœ—sœ, sea, lake]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

The gentry family of this name have a tradition that their ancestor was a foundling, and that he obtained his surname from the place where he was discovered-"by the Sea." It is far likelier to have been derived from residence in such locality. At-Sea is a common medieval name, and both correspond with the continental De la Mer, Delmar, De Meer, &c., as well as with the Pelagius, Pontius, &c. of antiquity.
