Osgathorpe Family History

From Osgathorpe House in Sheffield (WR Yorks), which is recorded as Osegerthorp in 129. The place-name probably derives from the Old English personal name Ōsgar or an anglicized form of the Old Scandinavian personal name Ásgeirr + Old English or Old Scandinavian þorp ‘secondary settlement, outlying farmstead’.

Occasionally perhaps from Osgathorpe in Leics, but evidence is lacking. The place is recorded as Osgodtorp in 1086 and derives from an anglicized form of the Old Scandinavian personal name Ásgautr + Old English or Old Scandinavian þorp ‘secondary settlement, outlying farmstead’.
