Hambro Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Hanbury'; variants of Hanbury or Handborough, which see. The change from 'M' to 'm' and vice versa is common; compare Henning and Hemming. I do not think that Hamburgh is the parent; all the evidence is to the contrary.

Nicholas de Hamberegh, Kent, 1273. Hundred Rolls.

Richard de Hambyr, Oxfordshire, ibid.

John de Hamberegh, Kent, ibid.

John de Hambury, Derbyshire, 20 Edward I: Placita de Quo Warranto, temp. Edward I-III.

1574. Married — George Stondes and Joyce Hambre: St. Mary Aldermary.

Richard de Hambyr' mentioned above lived in Oxfordshire, where lies the parish of Handborough. Carefully compare this with the Oxfordshire instances under Hanbury. I doubt not my statement is correct. Handborough would readily become Hambro or Hambrow.
