The Hunt Family
from Kent, England

This branch of the Hunt family commences in Kent, in England.

This ancient surname is of pre 7th century English origins. It is usually an occupational surname for one who hunted wildlife for a living.
In the Middle Ages the term "hunter" was an official title, and there were different categories from game hunters on foot
to the mounted huntsmen, who pursued stags and wild boar. The penalty for hunting without permission in the royal parks, could be death.
The word "Hunta" was sometimes used as a personal name. It appears in the placenames "Huntingdon" and "Huntingfield".
These translate as "Hunta's Hill" and "the land of the Hunta people". (Ref www.surnamedb.com)
