The history of the last name Adside

The surname ADSIDE has its origins in the Anglo-Saxon era of England, dating back to the 5th-9th centuries AD. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "ad" meaning "at" and "side" referring to a location or settlement near a hillside or slope. This would suggest the name originated from a place name describing the geographic features of the area where the first bearers of the name lived.

One of the earliest known recorded instances of the name ADSIDE can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, a comprehensive record of landowners and properties commissioned by William the Conqueror. The entry mentions an individual named Aedric Adsida, who held land in the county of Somerset. This provides evidence that the name was already in use among the Anglo-Saxon population before the Norman Conquest.

During the Middle Ages, the name ADSIDE appeared in various local records and charters across different counties in England. In the 13th century, a Robert de Adsyde was listed as a landowner in the Hundred Rolls for Oxfordshire. The "de" prefix was commonly used to indicate a person's place of origin or residence. This suggests the name may have been associated with a specific location called Adside or a variation thereof.

In the 14th century, a prominent figure bearing the name ADSIDE was Sir John Adside, a knight who served under King Edward III during the Hundred Years' War. He was noted for his bravery in the Battle of Crécy in 1346 and was later granted lands in Wiltshire for his service.

Another notable individual with the surname ADSIDE was William Adside, a merchant and alderman in the city of London during the late 15th century. He was a member of the Worshipful Company of Drapers and served as the Lord Mayor of London in 1491.

In the 16th century, the ADSIDE name appeared in various parish records across England, with variations in spelling such as Adsyde, Adsied, and Adsett. One example is Thomas Adsied, born in 1572 in the village of Thornbury, Gloucestershire, who later became a renowned clockmaker and inventor.

As the surname evolved over time, different branches of the ADSIDE family emerged in various parts of England, with some members retaining the original spelling while others adopted slight variations. However, the historical records and documented instances suggest the name's roots can be traced back to the Anglo-Saxon period and its association with a specific geographic location.
