The Meaning of the Name
The name Hainworth is of Anglo-Saxon origin. Its final element derives from the Old English word worð, an enclosure or homestead. The first element is most likely a personal name or an early descriptive term, now difficult to recover with certainty. Taken together the name probably meant something close to ‘a enclosure’.
Remarkably, the name has changed little since 1086, when the Domesday scribes wrote it as Hainworth.
