Släkthistoria för Witheridge
Witheridge Vad efternamn betyder
mainly from Witheridge (Devon) which is recorded as Wetherigge in 1249 though perhaps sometimes from Witheridge Hill in Rotherfield Greys (Oxon) which is recorded as Wytheruge about 1250. The Devon place-name probably derives from Old English weðer ‘castrated ram wether’ + hrycg ‘ridge’. The Oxon place-name derives from Old English wīðig ‘withy willow’ + hrycg.
