Briscoe Family History
This unusual surname is of northern English origin, and is locational, either from the village of Briscoe in Cumberland, or from Briscoe in the North Riding of Yorkshire. The former, recorded as "Brethesco" in the 1203 Pipe Rolls of that county, and as "Brisco" in 1204, derives its name from the Old Norse "Bretaskogr" meaning "wood of the (Strathclyde) Britons". The latter is so called from the Old Norse "birki", birch, plus "skogr", a wood; hence, "birch wood". Locational surnames, such as this, were usually acquired by a local landowner, or by the lord of the manor, and especially by those former inhabitants of a place who had moved to another area, usually in search of work, and were thereafter best identified by the name of their birthplace...Select Audience
