Ashberry Family History

Ashberry Surname Meaning

See Astbury. The medieval bearers cited below are probably not the source of the modern surname: Redmonds notes that there is no evidence for the survival of the Middle English surname in 15th-century Sheffield or nearby places.

Since the post-medieval name there shares its spellings with variants of Astbury, this is the more likely source.
