Southouse Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of the salthouse,' the place where salt was made from sea-water by evaporation. Middle English salt, Dutch zout. v. Southouse. In the first instance below I suspect the occupation of souter (shoemaker) is accidental. But, if not, Southouse in London Directories is an abbreviation of Souter-house, the shoemaker's house. I had a Soutergate in my late parish (Ulverston), i.e. the shoemaker's road. But this abbreviation would scarcely occur in a formal record in 1379. It is far more natural to make Southouse, the surname, a variant of Salthouse. Two small places, a Salthouse in Lytham, and a Salthouse in Furness, where salt was obtained from sea-water, have originated two families of Salthouse in North Lancashire.
Simon del Southouse, souter, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Adam de Salthus, Norfolk, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
(This is the parish of Salthouse, Norfolk.)

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of the salthouse'; v. Salthouse. Saut is still a Northern provincialism for salt.
