The English surname Lockwood is an habitational name from a place in West Yorkshire,  named in Old English as “enclosed wood,” from loc(a) meaning “enclosure’ and  wudu meaning “wood.” It seems likely that all present-day bearers of the name descend from a single family which originated in this place. The name is first recorded in the late 13th Century when Henry de Locwode, a knight, was recorded in the records of the Staffordshire Court in 1294. The name was introduced to North America by 17th Century English settlers and today there are 19,000 bearers of the name Lockwood living in the United States.
