The surname Denford, is a habitational name from two or three Old English words. ‘Dene’ predates the 7th century, meaning a dean or valley. ‘Ford’ refers to a shallow river bed with a firm base, suitable for safe crossing. ‘Dierne’ means ‘hidden’. Possibly, together, Denford means, ‘a safe place to cross a river’.
