Hurdis Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

In the Promptorium Parvulorum we find Hurdyce defined as 'utensile,' and 'supellex,' and hustylment given as its synonym. Now hustylment or hustelment is used in Wickliffe's version of the Bible as a rendering of the Vulgate utensilia, and Mr. Way proves from several medieval authorities that it ordinarily meant moveables, household-furniture, or implements; but in "Coer-de-Lion" and other works, hurdys clearly signify barricades, palisades, or large shields called pavises. See Way's Prompt. Parv. The Iow-Latin hurditius or hurditium means the hurdles (crates) employed in ancient warfare-the hurdles or mat-work which covered the walls of towns ("crates quae obducunt urbium muris"-Vossius) during a siege, to resist the battering-ram, as seen in ancient pictures. The surname may have been metaphorically applied to some gallant defender of a town or fortress.
