Hoath Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Hoath,' a parish in Kent, six miles from Canterbury. With Hoad, compare Hoadley for Hoathley.

A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

(English) belonging to Hoath (Kent) = the Heath [O.(South.) English háð, heath]

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

A hoad in the South means a heathy or rough ground. In Sussex many names of places which comprise the syllable hoth or heath have had it corrupted by the peasantry to hoad, and thus Hothly and Roeheath become Hoadly and Roehoad. See Hothek.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

Weekley says "archaic for Heath, but only on Halli- well’s authority.” Halliwell is quite right, for as a Kenticism the word exists to this day. I live in sight of Lewis Heath, also called Lewis Hoath, and all over Kent the older people generally call a piece of waste a “hoad.”

Surnames (1917) by Walter Parry Haskett-Smith

The names of Hoath and Hoadley are evidently derived from the Sussex parishes of East and West Hoathly. Dr. Benjamin Hoadley, Bishop of Winchester, was the champion of the Low Church in the reign of George II. (Milner's "Winchester.").
