I'm pretty sure that it is not Danish. The vast majority of Howarths are from Lancashire and a place called Rochdale (which is where my Great Grandfather came from before settling in Durham in the North East where i have lived all my life) to be more specific. The Danes never settled in Lancashire and neither did the Anglos. You must remeber that although the danes settled in Yorkshire, there were still far more Anglos and Brittons here although they were under the rule of the Danes for a period of time. I have since learned that Howarth has several meanings.. 1- Old English for "Keeper of the swords" (derived from Howard) 2- Old English for a fortification on a hill. The later of which is very understandable as near Rochdale is a hill called Howarth as well as many street names called Howarth. I am still looking into it to make sure, but my guess is that it is Britton, but i still can't be sure. The investigation continues
