The history of the last name Allonce

The surname ALLONCE has its origins in medieval France, tracing back to the 12th century. It is believed to have derived from the Old French word "allons," which means "let's go" or "come on." This suggests that the name may have been initially used as a nickname or a descriptive term for someone who was known for their enthusiastic or energetic nature.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name ALLONCE can be found in the "Cartulaire de l'Abbaye de Saint-Père de Chartres," a collection of medieval charters and documents from the Abbey of Saint-Père in Chartres, France. This document, dated around 1170, mentions a certain "Robertus Allonce," who was likely a tenant or a vassal affiliated with the abbey.

During the 13th century, the name ALLONCE appeared in various records across northern France, particularly in the regions of Normandy and Picardy. For instance, a "Johannes Allonce" was listed as a witness in a legal document from the city of Rouen in 1246.

In the 14th century, the name ALLONCE began to spread beyond France, as some bearers of the name migrated to other parts of Europe. One notable figure from this period was Guillaume ALLONCE, a French mercenary who fought in the Hundred Years' War and was recorded as participating in the Battle of Crécy in 1346.

By the 15th century, the ALLONCE surname had established a presence in England, likely due to the Norman influence in the wake of the Norman Conquest. One of the earliest English bearers of the name was John ALLONCE, a merchant from London who was mentioned in the city's tax records in 1492.
