Ebelthite

Ebelthite is a fairly rare English surname. There are no records of the Ebelthite surname prior to 1720, but it is believed to be a variation of the surname Hebblethwaite. Hebblethwaite is a place name near Sedbergh, and while the full origin is that name is uncertain, the 'thwaite' element is from the Old Norse þveit for a piece of land or paddock. Distribution Ebelthite families can be found in and around London in England, and also family clusters in Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Bedfordshire, Lincolnshire and Derbyshire, going back to 1720. There is an Ebelthite family in South Africa (who emigrated there around 1840) some in Australia, and very small families in Canada and the United States. They all appear to have emigrated from England.
