Shorting Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(English) Dweller at the Short Meadow [Old English sc(e)ort, short + O.North. and East.E. ing (Old Norse eng), meadow] There does not seem to be any record of the use of sc(e)ort as a pers. name among the Anglo-Saxons (the Scorta quoted by Searle, 'Onomas. Anglo-Saxon’, p. 411, is due to his mistaking the ordinary adjective in a local name for a proper name), although there is, of course, no reason why it should not have been used as a nickname (cp. ‘Pepin le Bref’); and this fact makes it improbable that the second element in ‘Shorting’ is the Old English ‘son’ suffix. On the other hand, there are various instances of its use in Anglo-Saxon local names; and Mr. English H. H. Shorting of Broseley, Salop, has given me the forms Shorting, Shortinge, Shortyng, Shortynge, as occurring in 16th- cent. East-Anglian deeds.
