    Name Meaning

    English: (i) locative name; in most cases probably from one of four places called Hawkrigg in Westm. (ii) in some cases it is more likely to be from Hawkridge in Coldridge (Devon) or, less probably, from any of several other places in S England with this name (e.g. Hawkridge in Berks or Somerset; Hawkridge in Heywood, Wilts; Hawkridge Farm in Hellingley, Sussex). In the 16th century the surname was quite numerous in Devon, but it has now almost died out in that county.
