Norse invaders ruled much of northern England, in the 9th and 10th centuries, and English surnames of Norse origin in the area now called the Danelaw can be traced to their influence.[1]
Surnames were introduced in the 12th century, but mostly became hereditary only in the 14th and 15th.
According to Origins of English Surnames and A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames: With Special American Instances, English surnames that have their source in the language of the Norse invaders include: Algar,[1] Hobson,[1] Collings,[1] Copsey,[1] Dowsing,[1] Drabble,[1] Eetelbum,[2] Gamble,[1] Goodman,[1] Grave,[1] Grime,[1] Gunn,[1] Hacon,[1] Harold,[1] Hemming,[1] Ketellbum,[2] Knott,[1] Kronick,[1] Mainwaring,[2] Mannerink,[2] Orme,[1] Osborne,[1] Osborn,[1] Osmund,[1] Quinnell,[2] Ransom,[2] Rogers,[2] Raven,[1] Rolf,[1] Seagrim,[1] Starbuck,[2][1]Thomassen,[1] Thurgood,[1]Fell Tookey,[1] Toope,[1] Toovey,[1] Tovey,[1] Truelove,[2] Tubb,[1] Turk.[1]
