ALLAN - ALLEN |
Allan English Origins: Coat of Arms: A gold shield with a red fess between three oak leaves. Crest: Description not available |
"The Allan surname was first brought to England in the
wave of migration
following the Norman Conquest of 1066. It is a patronymic surname
derived from the given name Alan, which is thought to mean "little
rock" or "headstone." The name was popular among the Breton followers
of William the Conqueror due to St. Alan, a 5th-century bishop from
Quimper, Brittany; during the Middle Ages, parents often named their
children after saints in the hope that the child would be blessed or
protected by the saint. Spelling variations include: Alan, Allan, Allen, Alleyn, Allayne, Allaine, Allain, Allanach, Allanshaw, MacAllan and many more. First found in the lands of Shropshire, where Walter FitzAlan of Brittany was seated after the Norman Conquest of 1066. Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: John Allan, who settled in Virginia in 1622; Anne Allen, who arrived in Boston in 1635; John Allan, who immigrated to Virginia in 1685; as did Alice Allen in 1689." |
