From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Lethbridge.' Like Mr. Lower (Patronymica Britannica.), I cannot find the spot. It is evidently a Devonshire surname, and no doubt the locality is or was in that county.
1615. Anthony Lethbridge, Devon, gentleman: Register of the University of Oxford.
1803. Married — Thomas Buckler Lethbridge and Ann Goddard: St. George, Hanover Square.
(English) Acc. to Guppy, ‘The Homes of Family-Names,’ p. 515, this is a Devonshire surname [the first element may poss. represent Old English hlið a slope; but, in view of the second element (bridge), is more likely to be the DialectalE. lethe, flexible, limber-Old English líþe]
Clearly a local name, though the locality is unknown. The late radical Henry Hunt, a political opponent of Sir Thos. Lethbridge, used to assert that the worthy Baronet's grandfather was a foundling, who had been exposed in a pair of ' leather breeches !' The not altogether dissimilar name Lodbrok signifies "shaggy-breeches." See Ludbrook.
Christopher Lethbridge, mayor of Exeter in 1660, was a wealthy merchant of that city; he was born at Walston, in the parish of Clansburgh, near Okehampton (Pr.). Lethbridge is still an Exeter name.
