The English surname Holbrooke is of habitational origin. The name Holbrooke is derived from any of various places, for example in Derbyshire, Dorset, and Suffolk, so called from Old English hol ‘hollow’, ‘sunken’ + broc ‘stream’. The name has probably absorbed the Dutch surname van Hoobroek, found in London in the early 17th century, and possibly a similar Low German surname (Holbrock or Halbrock).The first written reference to the name Holbrooke is in Suffolk in the Domesday Book in 1086.
