Oxen Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This singular (not to say plural) name is not easily to be accounted for. Is it Oxenham or Oxenden, deprived of its final syllable ' Mr. Ferguson's explanation, if not quite satisfactory and conclusive, is at least ingenious and noteworthy. "Such a name as Oxen," says he, "must probably have been a surname. There is a Northman in the Landnamabok called Oxna-Thorir, ' Oxen-Thorir,' most probably from the number of oxen which he possessed. The surname is here a prefix, and Oxen-Thorir compares with our Apple-John-the one having been celebrated for his oxen, as the other for his apples." The comparison is faulty, for the original Mr. Apple-john did not get his name from his orchard, but was, doubtless, "a gentleman of Brutus' blood," an Ap-John of the Welsh principality.
