Foxworthy is a name that seems to have originated in Devon, England.
There are two theories for the origin of the name. In Saxon, a "worth" or "worthy" is a place protected by a wall or hedge, so a landholder who built such a barrier against foxes might have gained the name Foxworthy.
The other theory is that the name originated as a nickname, implying someone was smart or cunning as a fox.
