Flaxmore is used as a family name or surname in England. It is 8 characters long in length.
Lastname is the variant of the Flexman. See Flaxman - A dresser of flax, or a spinner. In old authors "flax-wife" signifies a female spinner who is married, probably to distinguish her from the spinster, or maiden of the distaff. The records of Castle Combe shew the existence in that district of a family who in the reign of Edward III. were called Spondel, most probably a provincialism for "spindle," in allusion to the spinning trade carried on by them. One of the family is described as "Johannem Spoundel dictum Flexmangere," or flax-monger, and twenty years later this person, or a descendant, is simply described as "Johannes Flexman."
