Origin: The name Strother is a very ancient one, and is supposed to be of Scandinavian origin. In its present form it has existed several hundred years. David Hunter Strother says 'it was carried by the Danish rovers and planted in the county of Northumberland, England, some time in the tenth century.' In that county the name and members of the family have been conspicuous for centuries. Its intermarriages have been with some of the most influential and prominent families of northern England. Alan del Strother, Lord of Lyham, was high sheriff of Northumberland from 1354 to 1357, and 'warden of the border.' His son, Alan del Strother, was also high sheriff and warden of the castle and the shire of Roxburgh, and he in turn was succeeded by his son Henry. In 1440, William del Strother, a grandson of Lord Lyham, married a daughter of Robert Wallington, and lived at Castle Strother, in Glendale. The records are preserved of various branches, but the links of connection with the V! irginia family are not known. There is a great similarity of given names, and it is not improbable that William Strother, mentioned below, is a direct descendant of some branch of the Northumberland family. Coming to Virginia, the early members of the family were loyal andHistory of West Virginia

Origin: The family originated in the area of West Lancashire in a small geographic area comprising a strip between Wigan in the South, and Preston in the North. The name is possibly taken from the village of Baxenden near Accrington.
The meaning of the name is "Bakestone Valley" from the Old English "Baecstan" + "denu" (Valley). Later the Middle English "dale" substituted for the OE "den".
