Surnames: Oldson Submitted by: Carla Freeby Origin of Olds, Meaning of Olds Origin: Goldstraw Dialect plays a part THE SURNAME Goldstraw is a local variant of the placename Goostrey near Holmes Chapel, which is recorded as Gostrel in the 1086 Domesday Book, Gosetre, Gorstre during the 12th and 13th century, and Goulstry in the 17th century. Developed The placename was originally taken by Ekwall in his Dictionary of English Placenames as meaning the tree belonging to Godhere, an old Saxon name, but McNeal Dodgson in the Placenames of Cheshire proposes a hypothetical Old English word ?gorst-treow? in the sense of gorse bush or bramble. The local pronunciation of Goldstraw probably developed along the following lines. Just as the word ?cold? becomes the dialect ?cowd?, and with the inclusion of the intrusive letter ?l?, the initial part of the name would be easily associated with the word ?gold? and the original form of the name just as soon forgotten. Interestingly enough, the placename is still pronounced Goostrey, and hence, is closer to its original form.
