Name Meaning

English (Yorkshire): habitational name from any of the places called Hemsworth (Yorkshire, Derbyshire, Dorset), but primarily the one in Yorkshire. The Yorkshire placename derives from an Old English personal name Hymel (genitive Hymeles) + Old English worth ‘enclosure’, while the Derbyshire placename probably derives from the Old English personal name Hemele (genitive Hemeles) + Old English worth. The Dorset placename comes from an Old English personal name Hemede (genitive Hemedes) + Old English worth.
