Name Meaning
English (Lincolnshire): habitational name from Cumberworth in Lincolnshire, named from an Old English personal name Cumbre + worth ‘enclosure’. There is also a Lower and an Upper Cumberworth in Yorkshire but these appear not to have contributed significantly to the modern surname, which is concentrated in Lincolnshire.
