Underhill

The Underhill Tribe represented here by Lord Timothy, Seneschal of Underhill. The Anglo-Saxon name Underhill comes from when the family resided at the foot of a hill or in the settlement of Underhill in Devon. The surname Underhill belongs to both the category of habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads, and the class of topographic surnames, which were given to people who resided near physical features such as hills, streams, churches, or types of trees.
