Etymology of ShackleWhat does the name Shackle mean? The Shackle surname was a habitational name from Scackleton, a village and civil parish in the Ryedale district of North Yorkshire. 1 The village is mentioned three times in the Domesday Book as Scacheldene or Scachelsey. 2 The place name probably means "valley by a point of land," from the Old English scacol + denu. 3 Another source claims the word "scacol," describes a "tongue of land." Early Origins of the Shackle familyThe surname Shackle was first found in Lancashire where Hugh Schacheliton was listed in the Assize Rolls for 1246. Hugh Shakeldene was found in the Subsidy Rolls for Yorkshire in 1302. 1 "The Shackletons were one of the most notable Quaker families in Ireland. Their famous school at Ballitore, Co. Kildare, where Edmund Burke was educated, was founded by Abraham Shackleton, a native of Yorkshire, in 1726. His son Richard Shackleton and his grandson Abraham Shackleton carried on the school with success. His daughter, Mary Leadbeater (1726-1826), the author of poems and essays, left a valuable account of rural life in the eighteenth century. Sir Ernest Shackleton (1874-1922), the Antarctic explorer, was of the same Co. Kildare family." 4 The Shackell variant has the same root and "is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Shakell'; compare the local Shackleton." 5 The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 include Willelmus Shakelle. 5 In Norfolk, The Vicarage of Corpesty, Norfolk, 'was sold by Heydon to Thomas Jecks and John Shakle, and by them to the Bacons, 1611.' 6 "This form still remains in Norfolk, Shackle being found in the Modern Domesday Book for that county." 5 Early History of the Shackle familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Shackle research.
