Meaning of this name is unknown.

william sowerby says: The name sowerby is viking in origin, the meaning is defined as farmer by marsh; the name came to england during the invasion of 1066. A number of castles were built by the sowerby earldom to protect the border between england and scotland, the Earldom originally stretched coast to coast but was broken into smaller baronetcies over time. During the war of the roses the sowerby's backed the losing side. Their name was struck from the roles and the wardenship of the western marches was awarded to Baron Dacre, created Earl of westmoreland, by HenryVIII. In 1537 after taking part in the northern rebellion the family escaped to their lands in Cork, Ireland.
