Hood is English in Origin.
Blending Old English craft and medieval nicknaming, Hood is an English surname turned given name. It most often derives from Old English hōd, “hood, head covering,” used for a maker or seller of hoods or for someone habitually wearing one; alternatively, it can come from Hudde, a Middle English pet form of Hugh (from Germanic hug, “mind, spirit”) and occasionally Richard. The name therefore carries twin senses: “hood-maker” or a link to “mind/spirit” through Hugh.
Documented as a surname by the 13th century in English records, Hood is indelibly tied to the Robin Hood legends and to figures such as Admiral Sir Samuel Hood. As a first name it appears sporadically in the 18th–19th centuries as an honorific family name in Britain and America, with renewed, rare modern use via the surname-as-first trend. Variants and related forms include Hoode, Hoods, Hud, Hudd, Hudde, and the patronymic Hudson.
