    Name Meaning

    English (Lancashire and Yorkshire): habitational name mostly from one or other of three places called Shuttleworth in Lancashire, though occasionally from Shuttleworth, now Littleworth, in Rossington (Yorkshire), or Shuttlewood in Bolsover (Derbyshire). The Lancashire and Yorkshire placenames derive from Old English scyt(t)els ‘bolt, bar’, probably also meaning ‘something that can be barred or bolted’, + worth ‘enclosure’, while the Derbyshire placename comes from Old English scyt(t)els + wudu ‘wood’.
