(English) Dweller at the Badger- Wood [v. under Dash 1, and + Middle English wode, Old English wudu]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

I cannot find any locality so called, but the name may have been originally De Ashwood, then D'Ashwood, and finally Dashwood. This would answer to the old latinization, De Fraxineto, a twelfth century surname, with which it is doubtless identical.
