Origin of Scattergood surname posted by by James M. Scattergood on January 12, 2002

SCATTERGOOD
NOUN: A person who spends money or resources wastefully: prodigal, profligate, spendthrift, waster, and wastrel.

According to Bernard P. Scattergood, the earliest recorded mention found for the surname like SCATTERGOOD appeared in thirteenth century in England. In the year 1219 Henry SKATERGOT appeared in the Assize Rolls for Yorkshire. Later in 1273 a Wirnecot SCHATREGOD was a freeholder at Clopton in Bedfordshire.

In the fourteenth century (ca 1327) several more instances of the surname appear, mostly in Derbyshire. The Derbyshire line is believed to be the origin of the present-day English and foreign branches. . .

The surname grew in both number of occurrences and prominence during the seventeenth century (1600-1700). Derbyshire, with forty percent of the head-count, continued as the dominant family center, but only by a slim edge over Staffordshire, with thirty-five percent. Nottinghamshire followed by Middlesex-London housed the majority of remaining family. It was to the Staffordshire-line that the family Coat of Arms was granted in 1662.

The Book of Names says the name derives from a wealthy philanthropist that gave away all of his possessions. He "scattered his goods"
