Sheasby

Sheasby is a surname of English origin. It is considered to be a locational name, derived from a place in Leicestershire, England, likely from a now-lost or significantly altered settlement. The name is believed to mean "sheep enclosure" or "sheep farm," combining the Old English elements "sceap" (sheep) and "by" (settlement, farm).

Variations of the surname include Sheasby, Sheasbey, and Shasby.

Records of individuals with the Sheasby surname can be found in historical documents such as parish registers, census records, and wills, primarily within England. Over time, the surname has spread to other parts of the world through migration.

The rarity of the name suggests a relatively small number of original families carrying the Sheasby surname. Further research into specific genealogical records is required for tracing individual family histories.
