English: habitational name from either of two places called Hawksworth (Yorkshire, Nottinghamshire). The Yorkshire placename derives from the Old English personal name Hafoc (genitive Hafoces) + Old English worth ‘enclosure’, while the Nottinghamshire placename probably comes from the Old English personal name Hōc (genitive Hōces) + Old English worth; the form of the placename appears to have been altered under influence from Middle English hauk ‘hawk’. Compare Hawk 3 and Hawksley .
