About the Heathe Surname

Long before computers fixed spellings, Heathe and Heath were used side by side.

Read literally, Heathe points to “Dweller on a heath”. Heathe adds “e” to Heath, a small change that appeared as the name was written down. Before spelling was standardised, one family could appear under several forms. Related forms: Hethe and Heth.
