The history of the last name Angevine

The surname Angevine has its origins in the northern French region of Anjou, historically known as Angevin. The name emerged in the 12th century, derived from the Old French term "Angevin," which referred to a native or inhabitant of Anjou. This region played a significant role in English history during the Angevin dynasty, when the House of Plantagenet ruled over vast territories in France and England.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the surname Angevine can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Lincolnshire, England, dated 1195, where it appears as "Angevin." This suggests that individuals bearing this name likely migrated from Anjou to England during or shortly after the Angevin dynasty.

The name Angevine also appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, a comprehensive survey of landowners and properties commissioned by William the Conqueror. Here, it is recorded as "de Angevin," indicating a connection to the region of Anjou.

Historically, the surname Angevine has been associated with several notable individuals. One of the earliest was William de Angevine, a 12th-century nobleman who served as a royal ambassador for King Henry II of England. Another prominent figure was Sir John Angevine (c. 1260-1325), a English knight who fought in the Scottish Wars of Independence under King Edward I.

In the 15th century, Robert Angevine (c. 1410-1478) was a prominent merchant and alderman in the city of London. His wealth and influence allowed him to establish a family estate in Hertfordshire, contributing to the spread of the surname in that region.

Moving into the 17th century, we find Thomas Angevine (1615-1684), a Puritan minister who emigrated from England to Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1636. He served as a pastor in several towns and played a role in the early religious history of New England.

Another notable bearer of the name was Sir Edmund Angevine (1720-1795), a British naval officer who served during the Seven Years' War and the American Revolutionary War. He achieved the rank of Vice Admiral and was knighted for his distinguished service.

Throughout its history, the surname Angevine has maintained connections to its Angevin roots, with variations in spelling including Angwin, Angevin, and Anguevin. These variations reflect the evolution of language and regional dialects over time.
