Ellsworth

The name Ellsworth has a long Anglo-Saxon heritage. The name comes from when a family lived in Cambridgeshire, where they derived their name from the place-name Elsworth. An ancient Saxon village, it dates back to 974 when it was first listed as Eleswurth. The place-name is derived from the Old English personal name Eli and worth, an Old English word for farm. The place-name translated literally as Eli's farm.
