Lastname is the variant form of the Eckroyd. See Ackroyd - See under Royd - A common termination of names of places in the North of England, signifying a clearing in a forest, in legal phrase, a roda or assart. "Rode land is used in this sense in modern German, in which the verb roden means to clear; hence, near the Hartz forest, Elbingerode, Blacherode, and Osterode. The combination of the syllable rod, rode, or royd, with some other term, or with the name of an original settler, has no doubt given to particular localities such de signations as Huntroyd, Ormerod, etc." [Coucher Book of Whalley Abbey; Gloss.] In Lancashire and Yorkshire, the adjunct sometimes refers to the early proprietor, as in Monkroyd, Martinrode, etc.; sometimes to the trees ridded or cleared, as in Oakenrode, Ac royd, Hollinrode, Holroyd, etc.; sometimes to other characteristics.
