Name Meaning

English: habitational name from Ufford (Northamptonshire), Ufford (Suffolk), or Offord Cluny or Offord Darcy (Huntingdonshire). The Northamptonshire and Suffolk placenames derive from the Old English personal name Uffa + Old English worth ‘enclosure’. For the Huntingdonshire placename see Offord , with which the surname may have been confused.
