ArchivesSurname; Hamnett
i have been researching my family history for the past 7 months and would dearly love to know where my surname originates. My daughter came home from school today and informed me that her friend had seen our name in a book which said that "as Smith is widespread in England, Hamnett is the same in Egypt." I have been asked in the past if my name is Morroccan or even Turkish. If anyone out there can help me, i would be ever so grateful. A big THANK YOU in advance, Suz

Hamnett Egyptian? Surely not. Are you thinking of Hamid?
Hamnett, to my knowledge, is English. A diminutive of the old male given name, Hamon, which is from the Germanic name, Hamo. I don't know what that means and I don't know that anyone else does. Shakespeare called his son Hamnett.
