Cutmore Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(English) 1 Dweller at the Cut or Cloven Moor [v. under Cutcliffe, and + Middle English more, Old English mór] 2 for the rare Anglo-Saxon Cúthmœr [Old English cúð, known, famous + mœre, glorious]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

User-submitted Reference

Cutmore is mainly found in the East Anglian counties of Norfolk, Suffolk, Cambridgeshire and Hertfordshire. According to sources more knowledgeable than I, it is of Anglo-Saxon origin, and is a location name either from Cutmere, a locality in the St. Germans rural district of Cornwall, or from a reduced locality around Cotmore House in Oxfordshire. The component elements of the place name are most likely the Olde English pre=7th Century personal name, Cuda, a short form of various compound names with a first element cuth (famous, well known) and mar (moor, fen). This personal name is also found as an initial element in Cudham, Kent, also Cudworth and Cutcombe in Somerset. Locational surnames were originally given to local landowners, and the Lord of the Manor, and especially the former inhabitants who left their place of origin to live and work in an other area. Regional and dialectal differences subsequently produced several variations in the spelling of the name, which, in the modern idiom, include: Cudmore, Cutmere, Cutmore and Cutmare and many many more.

The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of John Cuddimeore, which was dated January 8th 1542, marriage to Alice Hows, at North Currey, Somerset, during the reign of Henry VIII.

This infomation is accredited to Terry Cutmore.
