End Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

End: “A certain number of names . . . have arisen from a somewhat peculiar colloquial use of the term 'end’ in vogue with our Saxon forefathers. The mode of its employment is still common in Lancashire and Yorkshire. The poorer classes still speak of a neighbour as dwelling at 'the street end they never by any chance use the fuller phrase, 'the end of the street.’ Chaucer uses it as a familiar mode of expression. The Friar, in the preface to his story, says slightingly: “‘A Sompnour is a rener up and down With mandements for furnication, And is beaten at every towne end.' Numerous contributions occur in the Hundred Rolls as names: John ate-Bruge-end, Walter-at-Townshende, Margaret ate Laneande, Thomas atte Greavesende, etc.” (Bardsley).

Much dispute has occurred as to the meaning of the rubric directing the Priest at the Communion Service to stand “at the North side of the Table.” This has been taken as a direction that he should be like Cheevy Slyme, “Always round the corner, sir.” Had the Reformers meant this, they would have used the word end. An altar has a middle and two sides as well as two ends. We have the surnames Townend, Townshend, Townsend, etc.
