Haworth Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Haworth,' a village near Keighley, Yorkshire, whose vicarage is famous as the former residence of Charlotte Bronte, her father being the vicar. Not to be confounded with Howorth, though no doubt the names have become mixed.

(English) belonging to Haworth = 1 the Hedged Estate or Farm (estate or farmstead enclosed by a haw or hedge) [Old English haga + worð] 2 the Haugh-Estate or -Farm [v. Haugh] (Scandinavian) = Howarth 1 q.v.

A chapelry in Yorkshire.
A location name in Yorkshire.
The Haworths or Howarths are very characteristic of Lancashire, Howorth being of less frequent occurrence. The Haworths of Great Haworth, a very old gentle family, have resided in that place for many centuries; the Haworths of Higher Croft branched off from them in the middle of the 17th century; whilst those of Sale in Cheshire belong to a still later branch (W. W.). Haworth was a common Rochdale name in the 16th century (F.). Abraham Hawarth was a Manchester boroughreeve in 1746 (B.). Haworth is a place or a seat in the county, but I scarcely think that this is a sufficient explanation of the frequency of a name which, in one form or another, is borne by nearly one in every hundred of Lancashire men. It is remarkable that Howard is a name nearly as frequent in the county. The significance of this fact is referred to in Chapter II., under "Howard".
