Wold Family History
Wold Name Meaning
Norwegian: variant spelling of Vold (see Voll).English: topographic name for someone who lived on any of
the areas of open upland known from Middle English times onwards as
wolds (e.g. the Yorkshire Wolds or the Cotswolds). This term
derives from Old English wald ‘forest’ (see Wald). After
the extensive clearance of forests in England, from before the Norman
Conquest onward, the Old English term wald came to denote open
uplands (wolds) in Middle English in certain areas of
England.
