Westbrooke Surname Meaning & Coat of Arms

Spelling was not fixed until the modern era, so Westbrook could easily become Westbrooke.

The name is usually explained as “west brook”. The extra “e” in Westbrooke is a spelling habit rather than a different name. Regional accents shaped spellings long before dictionaries fixed them. The same family of names includes Westbrooks.

Family crest and blazon
