Facts About
Windsor
Windsor is a locational surname coming from any of the places so-called or similarly spelled across Britain. Locational surnames were traditionally given to someone who had moved away to a new area, whereby they were assigned the name of their original home as a surname to differentiate them from the other townspeople. The place name itself comes from the Old English ‘windels’ meaning referring to a windlass, a device for lifting things. Additionally the Old English ‘ora’ suffixed gave this name the meaning ‘windlass on the hill’. Places with this name would have originally had such as windlass. |
