Origins of the surname

|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
An Introduction to the Surname
The
practice of inherited family surnames began in England and France during the late part of the 11th century. With the
passing of generations and the movement of families from place to place many
of the original identifying names were altered into some of the versions that
we are familiar with today. Over the
centuries, most of our European ancestors accepted their surname as an
unchangeable part of their lives. Thus
people rarely changed their surname.
Variations of most surnames were usually the result of an involuntary
act such as when a government official wrote a name phonetically or made an error in transcription.

Source(s) & Meaning(s) of the Surname
Most
of the modern family names throughout Europe have originated from with of the following circumstances: patronym
or matronym, names based on the name of one's father,
mother or ancestor, (Johnson, Wilson). Each is a means of conveying lineage; occupation (i.e., Carpenter, Cooper, Brewer, Mason); habitational (Middleton, Sidney, or Ireland) or topographical (i.e. Hill, Brook, Forrest, Dale); nicknames (i.e., Moody Freeholder, Wise,
Armstrong); status (i.e. Freeman, Bond, Knight); and acquired ornamental names
that were simply made up.
|

History of the
Surname
Surnames as we know
them today were first assumed in Europe from the 11th to the 15th century.
They were not in use in England or Scotland, before the Norman Conquest of 1066, and were first found in
the Domesday Book of 1086. The employment in the use
of a second name was a custom that was first introduced from the Normans who had adopted the custom just
prior to this time. Soon thereafter
it became a mark of a generally higher socio-economic
status
and thus seen as disgraceful for a well-bred man to have only one name. It was not until the middle of the 14th
century that surnames became general practice among all people in the British Isles.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
Variations of the surname
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Throughout
the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to unfold and expand often
leading to an overwhelming number of variants. As such one can
encounter great variation in the spelling of surnames because in early times,
spelling in general and thus the spelling of names was not yet
standardized. Later on spellings would
change with the branching and movement of families.
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The
complexity of researching records is compounded by the fact that in many cases an ancestors surname may
also have been misspelled. This is
especially true when searching census documents. The Soundex
Indexing System was
developed in an effort to assist with identifying spelling variations for a
given surname. Soundex
is a method of indexing names in the 1880, 1900, 1910, and 1920 US Census, and can aid genealogists in their
research.

Amorial bearings, symcbols
and mottoes
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
In the Middle
Ages heraldry came into use as a practical matter. It
originated in the devices used to distinguish the armored warriors in
tournament and war, and was also placed on seals as marks of identity. As far
as records show, true heraldry began in the middle of the 12th
century, and
appeared almost simultaneously in several countries of Western
Europe. In the British Isles the College of Arms, (founded
in 1483), is the Royal corporation of heralds who record proved pedigrees and grant armorial bearings. |

ARMORIAL BEARINGS
The associated armorial bearings for this surname and close
variant spellings are recorded in Burke’s General Armorie and Reitstap’s
Armorial General. The additional
information, presented below, is offered with regard to the armorial bearings
depicted above: |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
FIGURE
1: These arms belong to a Vinyals of Catalonia.
The gold shield contains a red lion surrounded by natural vines. The use of a vine in heraldry denotes a strong and lasting friendship. FIGURE 2: Burke
attributes this coat-of-arms to a Vine of Great Britain. The black shield contains three silver wheat-sheafs. The crest is a
golden heraldic tiger’s head emerging from a ducal coronet. The wheat-sheafs
signify that the harvest of one's hopes has been secured. FIGURE 3: These arms were bestowed upon Sir
Thomas Vyner, of Gloucestershire, by King Charles II when he became the Lord Mayor of London in 1653. These arms
also belonged to Thomas Vyner’s nephew Sir Robert Viner, who became a Baronet in 1661 and Lord Mayor
of London in 1675. These arms feature a blue
shield containing a gold bend and a silver chief. The chief holds an engrailed saltire (cross) and two Cornish choughs. The use of an
engrailed line signifies the earth or the land. The crest (not shown) depicts an armoured dexter (left) arm
embowed and holding a six pointed gold star. FIGURE 4: These arms belonged to a Vinel of Toulouse, France. The blue shield features a silver swan and flower all backed by a terrace of the same color. The swan signifies poetic harmony and learning, or lover thereof. |
FIGURE 5: This coat of arms
belonged to a Viner or Vyner of London. It displays a blue
shield with a gold bend and silver chief.
In the chief is a sinister (right) hand flanked by two cornish choughs (crows).
The use of Cornish choughs usually mean strategist in battle; or watchful for friends. FIGURE 6: Burke attributes theses arms to a Vyner of Great Britain. The blue shield features a gold bend and silver chief containing two cornish choughs. These arms are quite similar to those featured in figures 3 and 5 which may mean that these families are closely connected. The utilization of a bend on heraldic arms represents the scarf or shield suspender of a knight commander, and signifies defense or protection. FIGURE 7: These
arms were granted prior to 1656 to a Viner of Sackfield
Hall of the nine parishes in county of Suffolk belonged to Joshua C. Carpenter whose wife was Ursula daughter
of Richard Viner, Esq. of Sackfield. The silver shield has a blue bend that
contains three white birds of paradise. FIGURE 8: These armorial
bearings were granted n 1702 to a Viney of Hothfield and Maidstone in the County
of Kent. Burke’s description is of a silver shield
containing a bunch of grapes stalked and leaved. The use of the color silver
in heraldry signifies
peace and sincerity. The crest shows an arm couped
at the shoulder holding a bunch of grapes by the stalk. |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
MOTTO(ES)
A motto is a word or
sentence usually written upon a scroll and generally placed below the shield,
but sometimes, especially in Scotland, above the
crest. Many ancient mottoes were war-cries such as the Douglas motto of “Forward.” Many mottoes refer to the name
of the bearer, for example “cole regem” for Coleridge.
In general most mottoes convey a sentiment, hope, or
determination, such as the Cotter motto “Dum spiro spero” where the meaning is “While I have breath I hope“.
Mottoes are often used by several successive
generations, but may be changed at any time by the grantee. The languages
most in use are Latin, French, and English.
Exceptions are seen in Scotland where they are often in the old
Lowland dialect, and in Wales, often in the language of the
principality. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following listed
mottoes and their translations are attributed to Vinnell or its
variant spellings: “Labore et honore”, (Viner of Badgeworth,
Gloucestershire) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Heraldic bearings
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The art of designing,
displaying, describing, and recording arms is called heraldry.
The use of coats of arms by countries, states, provinces, towns and villages
is called civic heraldry. A Coat of Arms is defined as a group of emblems and
figures (heraldic bearings) usually arranged on and around a shield and
serving as the special insignia of some person, family, or institution. Except for a few cases, there is really no
such thing as a standard "coat of arms" for a surname. A coat
of arms, more properly called an armorial achievement, armorial
bearings or often just arms
for short, is a design usually granted only to a single person not to an
entire family or to a particular surname.
Coats of arms are inheritable property, and they generally descend to
male lineal descendents of the original arms grantee. The rules and traditions regarding Coats of
Arms vary from country to country. Therefore a Coat of Arms for an English
family would differ from that of a German family even when the surname is the
same. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Some of the more prominent elements incorporated into
a coat of arms are : Crest - The word crest is often
mistakenly applied to a coat of arms. The crest was a
later development arising from the love of pageantry. Initially the crest consisted of charges
painted onto a ridge on top of the helmet. Wreath or Torse – The torse is a twist of cloth or wreath underneath and
part of a crest. Always shown as six twists, the first tincture being the tincture
of the field, the second the
tincture of the metal, and so on. Mantling – The mantling is a drapery tied to the
helmet above the shield. It forms a backdrop for the shield. Helm or Helmet - The helmet or helm is situated above the shield
and bears the torse and crest. The style of helmet
displayed varies according to rank and social status, and these styles
developed over time, in step with the development of actual military helmets. Shield or Arms - The basis of all coats of arms. At their simplest, arms consist of a shield with a plain field on which appears a geometrical shape or object. The items appearing on the shield are known as charges. Motto - The motto was originally a war cry, but later
mottoes often expressed some worthy sentiment. It may
appear at the top or bottom of a family coat of arms. |

Migration routes
|
|
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Tracing our own family’s paths of migration can prove crucial in identifying previous generations and eventually,
figuring out where and how they arrived in the “New World” as well as
where they eventually settled. Knowing the network of trails American
pioneers traveled can help you guess where to start looking. The trail map(s) provided below may assist
you in understanding the routes that our direct ancestors of this family may
have taken to find new homes and opportunities in the vast area now
encompassed by the United States. During the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries hundreds of thousands of Europeans made the perilous ocean voyage to America. For
many it was an escape from economic hardship and religious persecution. For most it was an opportunity to start
over, own their own land, and make a better future for their descendents. |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Immigration records show a number of people
bearing the name of Vinnell, or one of its variants, as arriving in North
America between the 17th and 20th centuries. Some of these immigrants were: John Viner who settled at
Virginia in 1663; Thomas Viner
who came to in New England in 1672; Jane Viner who came to Maryland in 1735; Michael
and Susannah Vine settled in Maryland in 1720;
and George Vinnell
who came to Maryland about 1730. |

The Development of an
Historical Migration Route It is understood that in many if not all cases we do not know exactly what routes our ancestors took as they migrated throughout the United States. As such certain assumptions have been utilized to re-create the migration path presented above. With regard to 18th and 19th century land routes we assume that they travelled along few trails and roads that were in existence at the time. Research shows that a great many of these old paths and trails are today designated as U.S. Highway Routes. For example, a major east-west route of migration known as the National Road is now U.S. Route 40, and a primary north-south migration route of the 18th century followed the Great Indian War and Trading Path is now U.S. Route 11. In some situations the re-created migration route may travel along state routes that connect or run through the seat of a county as that populated place is probably the oldest settlement in the area. The use of water as a migration route is also likely. For example, during the late 18th and early 19th centuries many families travelled west on the Ohio River as they moved on the new lands in Missouri or the Old Northwest Territory. As such when applicable water routes have been included as the possible migration route. |

|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Most of these documents can be considered as primary or secondary
evidence. Primary evidence is usually defined as the best available to prove the
fact in question, usually in an original document or record. Secondary evidence is in essence all that evidence
which is inferior in its origin to primary evidence. That does not mean
secondary evidence is always in error, but there is a greater chance of
error. Examples of this type of
evidence would be a copy of an original record, or oral testimony of a record’s
contents. Published genealogies and
family histories are also secondary evidence.
Classifying evidence as either primary or secondary does
not tell anything about its accuracy or ultimate value. This is especially true of secondary
evidence. Thus it is always a good
idea to ask the following questions: (1) How far removed from the original is
it, (when it is a copy)?; (2) What was the reason
for the creation of the source which contains this evidence?; and (3) Who was
responsible for creating this secondary evidence and what interest did they
have in its accuracy? SOURCE: |
