The proud and noble English surname of Heathcott originates with the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes who once ruled Britain. "Habitation surnames" began to become bestowed upon persons based upon the names of the towns or settlements that they were living near. Such is the case here: Derbyshire and Warwickshire each had settlements called Heathcote. There is a certain Walter Hathecok listed in over in Essex, in the Hundred Rolls of 1273 A.D.
