Rideout Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of the redoubt. Of this surname and its variants I can find no satisfactory derivation. Mr. Lower says,' Possibly from redoubt, a military fortification. the Frenchreduit; Ital. ridotto; Span. reduto. The Hundred Rolls' Ridhut Will, however, hardly bend to this etymology': Patronymica Britannica. v. Skeat's Dictionary on redoubt.
Elyas Ridhut, Somerset, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
Willelmus Rydhowt, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
1718. Baptised — Maria, d. Giles Ridout: St. James, Clerkenwell.
1730. Married — Theophilus Ridout and Love Barnes: St. George, Hanover Square.
The form of this name in the 13th- cent. Hundred-Rolls, Ridhut, and in the 14th-cent. Yorks Poll-Tax, Rydhowt, apparently points to English hut [French hutte, a cottage, hut; O.H.Ger. hutta, a hut]; but the first element presents the same difficulty as in Ridehalgh, q.v.
(French) Descendant of Ridwulf (horseman, wolf), or possibly of Ridald (horseman, bold).
Possibly from redoubt, a military fortification. French reduit; Ital. ridatto; Span, reduto. The H.R. Ridhut will, however, hardly bend to this etymology.
It has been suggested that this name may be from redoubt, a military fortification French réduit, It. riddoto, Sp. reduto), and the names Redout, Ridoubt are found in America; and Ridout, Ridoutt are no doubt the same name. In H.R. it is Ridhut, which may mean red hut or dwelling; the first syllable may also be from W. rhyd, a ford. Again, Redhead would easily corrupt to Redout and Rideout.
The present family of Ridout, of the vicinity of Blandford, possess namesakes or kinsmen in the Rideouts of Shrowton of last century. About a hundred years ago the Rev. P. Rideout, of Hooks Wood, Farnham, owned a farm in Ewern Minster (H.).
