Name Meaning
English (southeastern, especially Kent): habitational name, perhaps from Pinkhurst in Slinfold (Sussex), or Pinkhurst Farm in Abinger (Surrey). The placenames derive from the Old English pinca ‘finch’ or a personal name derived from this + hyrst ‘hillock, copse’. Alternatively, perhaps from Pankhurst (Surrey), which has an obscure origin.
