Shuttleworth Name Meaning
English (Lancashire and Yorkshire): habitational name mostly from one or other of three places called Shuttleworth in Lancashire though occasionally from Shuttleworth now Littleworth in Rossington (Yorkshire) or Shuttlewood in Bolsover (Derbyshire). The Lancashire and Yorkshire placenames derive from Old English scyt(t)els ‘bolt bar’ probably also meaning ‘something that can be barred or bolted’ + worth ‘enclosure’ while the Derbyshire placename comes from Old English scyt(t)els + wudu ‘wood’.
