Meaning & History

Transferred use of the surname Booth, which is derived from Middle English bothe meaning "booth, bothy, hut", which itself is ultimately derived from Old Norse búð meaning "booth, dwelling, shelter". The surname originally referred to someone (often a herdsman) who lived in a small hut or bothy.

Known bearers of Booth as a given name include the American novelist and dramatist Booth Tarkington (1869-1946) and the American politician Booth Gardner (1936-2013).
