Name Meaning
habitational name from any of various places (in Derbyshire, Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Northumberland, Shropshire, and elsewhere) called Woodhouse, or a topographic name for someone who lived at a ‘house in the wood’ (Middle English wode, hous, Old English wudu, hūs).
variant of Woodiwiss , from Middle English wodewose, which by the 16th century was sometimes written as wodowes, woodose, and wodehouse. The confusion with woodhouse probably arose because both words (and both names) were pronounced /wudus/ or /wudǝs/ in local dialect.
