Origin
Tudor : 1: Welsh: from the personal name Tudur a derivative of British Celtic Toutorīx literally ‘people’ + ‘king’. It has sometimes been taken as a Welsh equivalent of Latin Theodorus from Greek Theodōros ‘gift of God’ (see Theodore) for which the usual Welsh form is Tewdwr.2: Romanian and Croatian: from the personal name Tudor a variant of Teodor (see Theodore).
Alleyne : English: variant of Allen. This is an old-fashioned spelling already established as a surname in England in Tudor times. Today this surname is found mainly in the West Indies especially Barbados.
Blackard : 1: English Scottish and northern Irish: perhaps a derivative of the nickname black heart or from blackguard a Tudor term denoting a group of the lowest-class menials in a household.2: Perhaps also an altered form of German Blackert.
Carew : 1: Welsh (Pembrokeshire): habitational name from any of various minor places in Wales in particular one near Pembroke with a major castle named from Welsh caer ‘fort’ + rhiw ‘hill slope’. The surname was taken to Ireland soon after the Norman invasion of England and was Gaelicized as de Carrún. In the 16th century a family called Carew from Devon played an important part in establishing the Tudor administration in Ireland.2: Cornish (Somerset and Devon): from the cognate Cornish word kerrow (plural of ker ‘fort’) which occurs seven times as a placename in Cornwall.
Crawforth : this name is recorded from Tudor times in Lincs and ER Yorks and could be of local origin but is more likely to be a variant of Crawford due to early migration from Scotland.
Pembroke : English and Irish: habitational name from Pembroke (Welsh Penfro from Welsh pen ‘end’ + brog ‘land’) in southwest Wales. Pembroke Castle was of strategic importance in medieval and Tudor times because of its commanding position at the western end of the Bristol Channel and its control of seaborne traffic between Britain and the south of Ireland. It was from Pembroke that Richard de Clare Earl of Pembroke nicknamed ‘Strongbow’ launched an expedition to Wexford in 1169–70 which brought many English and Welsh surnames to Ireland.
Timothy : 1: English and Welsh: from the New Testament Greek personal name Timotheos from Greek timē ‘honor’ + theos ‘God’. This was the name of a companion of Saint Paul who according to tradition was stoned to death for denouncing the worship of Diana in Ephesus. This was not in general use in England as a personal name until Tudor times so insofar as it is an English surname at all it is a late formation (e.g. in Wales where surnames came into use only relatively recently). In North America this surname has in some cases also absorbed some of the various Greek cognate patronymics and other derivatives such as Timotheatos.2: Irish: adoption of the English personal name as an equivalent of Tumulty.
