The proud and noble English topographical-type surname of Heath dates back to the times when the Anglo-Saxons bestowed surnames upon persons who lived near physical features such as hills, lakes, valleys, or even types of trees. Areas of level, uncultivated land with poor, coarse, undrained soil with rich deposits of peat or peaty humus were referred to as heath. First found in records of Durham, 1279 A.D.
