Anybody familiar with the last name "Cumberworth"?

Question

It's my maiden name. My family is from southern Indiana, but I was wondering how common a name it is, and maybe where it comes from. Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

My INFO disc (UK Electoral Roll) has 71 people listed over the age of 18, so it's not that common a name.

Answer 2

Cumberworth    

Last name origin & meaning:

English (Lincolnshire): habitational name from Cumberworth in Lincolnshire, named from an Old English personal name Cumbre + worth ‘enclosure’. There is also a Lower and an Upper Cumberworth in West Yorkshire but these appear not to have contributed significantly to the modern surname, which is concentrated in Lincolnshire.
