== Etymology ==
For the most part, the surname Wood originated as a topographic name used to describe a person who lived in, or worked in a wood or forest. This name is derived from the Middle English ''wode'', meaning "wood" (from the Old English ''wudu'').〔 which cited: for the surname "Wood".〕 An early occurrence of this surname (of a personal residing near a wood) is ''de la Wode'', recorded in Hertfordshire, England, in 1242.〔 The locational name also appeared in early records Latinised as ''de Bosco'' (from the Old French ''bois'', meaning "wood").〔 which cited: for the surname "Boyce".〕 Another derivation for the surname is from a nickname of an eccentric or violent person, derived from the Old English ''wōd'',〔 ''wad'',〔 and Middle English ''wod'', ''wode'', all meaning "frenzied" or "wild".〔〔 This derivation is considered to be much less common than the locational origin. An early occurrence of the surname derived in this fashion (from a nickname) is ''le Wode'', recorded in Worcestershire, England, in 1221.〔〔
