HISTORY OF THE WARNE NAME (Source www.surnamedb.com)
This interesting
surname is of English locational origin from either Wearne in Somerset
or Warne in Marytavy, Devonshire. Wearne is
recorded as "Warne" in the Domesday Book of 1086, and was originally
the name of the stream of the place. The name means "alder stream"
and is derived from the British (the extinct Celtic language of the ancient
Britons) "verno" or the Welsh "gwern" meaning alders. Warne
is recorded as "Wagefen" in the 1194 Pipe Rolls of Devonshire and is
composed of the Old English pre 7th Century elements
"wagen" meaning quaking plus "fen" a fen marsh; hence
"quaking fen". The surname is first found in the latter half of the
13th Century, (see below). One, John Warne, appears in the Subsidy
Rolls of Wiltshire (1524). In the modern idiom the surname hasmany variant
spellings including Wearn, Warn, Warnes, Wearne, etc.
On February 21st
1609, Elizabeth Warne and Edward hoare were married at St James Clerkenwell, London. John, son of
Stephen Warne, was christened on September 29th 1612, at St Martin
in the fields, Westminster.
The marriage of Katheryne Warne and John Toplyn took place at St Katherine by
the Tower, London,
on April 27th 1615. The first recorded spelling of the family name
is shown to be that of John de Werne, which was dated 1273, Hundred Rolls of
Somerset, during the reign of King Edward I, "The Hammer of the
Scots", 1272 to 1307.
Surnames became
necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this
was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have
continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the
original spelling.
