Source(s): The Oxford Names Companion, OUP
Notes: English, transferred use from the surname. This has a number of sources, usually to do with a location name [e.g. "one who lives near a fortification" or (Lancashire) "berry wood"], although it also can be from the name of a bailiff or administrator.
