MEANING & HISTORY

What does Heath mean?

Heath is an English surname-derived given name from the landscape noun heath. The dictionary supplies that direct relationship rather than a formation from health with a letter removed.

The name’s landscape image should also be kept distinct from Heather, which refers to a plant associated with such ground. A surname can become a personal name without recording the current bearer’s address or ancestry. Heath therefore has a specific English formation while an individual family’s reason for selecting it remains a separate question.
