The goal of this project is to provide a central point for those with an interest in this place located family name and its worldwide spread.

The Borrodale Name Study project serves as a collaborative platform to collect information on the Borrodale name. The hope is that other researchers like you will join the study to help make it a valuable reference point for other genealogists who are researching or have an interest in the Borrodale name.

As a One Name Study, this project is not limited to persons who are related biologically. Individual studies can be used to branch out the research into specific methods and areas of interest, such as geographically (England Borrodales), by time period (18th Century Borrodales), or by topic (Borrodale DNA, Borrodale Occupations, Borrodale Statistics). These studies may also include a number of family branches which have no immediate link with each other. Some researchers may even be motivated to go beyond the profile identification and research stage to compile fully sourced, single-family histories of some of the families they discover through this name study project.

The Borrowdale name has descended through the generations from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. Their name comes from having lived in Cumberland, where they derived their name from the village of Borrowdale, in the parish of Crosthwaite, often called often called Grange in Borrowdale. The village dates back to at least c. 1170 when it was listed as Borgordale and meant "valley of the fort river" derived from the Old Scandinavian word "berg" + "by."
