History & Origin

Asberry is a variant of the English surname Asbury, from a place name meaning 'fort by the ash trees.' Its Old English parts join aesc, 'ash,' to burh, 'stronghold.' Carried as a given name, it also echoes the Methodist bishop Francis Asbury, lending it a quiet devotional resonance.

As a first name it stayed scarce, clustered early in the twentieth century with a modest high around 1928. An Asberry from that time belongs to a great-grandfather's generation now.

Did you know? The surname is famously borne by Francis Asbury, an early Methodist bishop in America, whose renown helped carry the name into families as a first name.
