Last Name FOOTE

Summary/Contribute


Meaning Local: At the foot of the hill, slope, etc. Of the same class as Head: '-head, -side, and -foot,' are common terminals or local surnames. Also 'the son of Fot.' This has more evidence in its favour than the first interpretation. Among the under-tenants of Domesday we find Ernui Fot in county Cheshire, and Godwin Fot in county Kent. Out of very many instances in the Hundred Rolls (1273) not one has a local prefix. That Fot or Foot was a first name before it became a last name.
Local: A place at the bottom of a hill or mountain, the base.
