A surname of English origin, most famously associated with Anne Hathaway, Shakespeare's wife, and actress Anne Hathaway.
Old English compound meaning 'heath path' or 'heather way,' from hæth (heath) and weg (way or path). Originally described someone who lived near a path through heathland.
The name carries the romance of English countryside paths through blooming heather, which makes it fitting that the most famous historical Hathaway was married to England's greatest poet of love and nature.
