Stroud Family History
Stroud Name Meaning
English (southern): habitational name from places in
Gloucestershire and Middlesex, so named from Old English
strod ‘marshy ground overgrown with brushwood’. Strood in
Kent is named with the same word, and some examples of the surname are
no doubt derived from this term in independent use. HH. + Stroud,
Hants.
