Shuttleworth (surname)


Shuttleworth is the surname of a family that appears to have originated in either Lancashire or Yorkshire no later than the 14th century.
It is claimed that the name was first found in Lancashire, at Shuttleworth, now a hamlet at the northeastern extremity of the Metropolitan Borough of Bury, in Greater Manchester. The place name derives from the Old English words "scyttels" + "worth" and literally means "gated enclosure." Early spellings of the hamlet included Suttelsworth in 1227 and Shuttelesworthe in 1296.
