True story! Looked it up so it is a fair dinkum name.
..... it would have been rendered D'Ath, or De Ath, meaning from Ath. It was also occasionally an occupational name for a gatherer or seller of kindling. In this case, the name is derived from the Old English word dethe, which in turn is derived from the Old English word dyth, which means fuel or tinder.

Someone where I worked had the name Phillipa Hoare.
Also, my kids had a good laugh over Steele Sidebottom.
