Släkthistoria för Grayhurst
Grayhurst Vad efternamn betyder
probably from a lost place in Hasland (Derbys) recorded as Grehurst in 1086 and Grayhirst and Greyhyrst in the 13th century. The place-name derives from Old English grǣg ‘grey’ + hyrst ‘hillock copse’. However no medieval bearers of the surname have been found and so it may have an alternative origin; perhaps a variant of Greathurst with loss of -t-.
