What is "ebelthite"

Ebelthite is a fairly rare English surname. The surname is properly a variation of the surname Hebblethwaite. Hebblethwaite is a place name in Sedbergh, Cumbria (but in Yorkshire until 1974), England. There is also Hebblethwaite Hall, Hebblethwaite Lane and Hebblethwaite cave found in Sedbergh. The origin is uncertain however the ' thwaite' element is from the Old Norse þveit for a piece of land or paddock.

There are no records found yet of the family surname spelling of Ebelthite prior to 1720, and this is possibly due to the spelling change from Hebblethwaite to Ebelthite around that time.
