Surname or Lastname
English
English : habitational name from either of the places called Washington, in Tyne and Wear and West Sussex. The latter is from Old English WassingatÅ«n ‘settlement (Old English tÅ«n) of the people of Wassa’, a personal name that is probably a short form of some compound name such as WÄðsige, composed of the elements wÄð ‘hunt’ + sige ‘victory’. Washington in Tyne and Wear is from Old English WassingtÅ«n ‘settlement associated with Wassa’.George Washington (1732–99), 1st president of the U.S. (1789–97), was born at Bridges Creek, VA. His great-grandfather had settled in the colony after emigrating from England in 1658. With the passage of time, the surname has come to be borne by more African Americans than English Americans. A prominent example was the educator Booker T. Washington (1856–1915), born a slave in VA, who adopted his surname from his stepfather, Washington Ferguson.
