Torbock Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

An estate in Lancashire, which had possessors of its own name in early times. They were of common ancestry with the distinguished house of Lathom of Lathom, being descendants of Richard, brother of Sir Robert Fitz-Henry, founder of Burscough Priory. See Latham. The name is, I think, extinct, that is, in its ancient and true orthography, though it appears to survive in plebeian life, and in the grotesque forms of Tirebuck and Tarbox.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

The same as Torbock; from Torbock, an estate in Lancashire, held by a family of the name in early times.
