Bostock (surname)
Bostock is a surname which originates from the Cheshire area. Ancient pedigrees claim that a Saxon thane named Osmer is the progenitor, though this is now doubted. Osmer's place of birth is not known but is likely to have been somewhere in Cheshire where he held a number of manors. He is alleged to have had a son named Hugh and a grandson named Richard. The first use of the surname was in the early 13th century with one Gilbert de Bostoc. The surname originated from the place name in central Cheshire written as ''Botestoche'' in the Domesday Book. It is a compound of two Saxon words: ''Bota'', which is likely to be a personal name, and ''stoc'', which indicates a minor settlement or hamlet, perhaps surrounded by a stockade of tree stumps. Therefore, the original place-name means ''Bota's hamlet''. The surnames ''Bostick'' and ''Bostwick'' are variations of ''Bostock''. People Notable people with the surname include: * Andy Bostock (born 1985), English rugby league footballer * ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
