The history of the last name Angrum

The surname ANGRUM has its origins in the Anglo-Saxon regions of England, dating back to the early medieval period around the 8th century AD. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "ang" meaning "narrow" and "rum" meaning "room" or "space", suggesting a possible connection to a dwelling or a geographical feature with a narrow space or passage.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Angrvm" in reference to a landowner in the county of Lincolnshire. This suggests that the name was already established in certain parts of England by the late 11th century.

In the 13th century, variations of the name, such as "Angrume" and "Angrame", can be found in various medieval records and charters from the counties of Yorkshire and Northumberland. These spellings likely reflect the regional dialects and scribal variations of the time.

One notable bearer of the ANGRUM name was Sir John Angrum, a knight who fought alongside King Edward III during the Hundred Years' War in the 14th century. He was recorded as participating in the Battle of Crécy in 1346 and the Siege of Calais in 1347.

Another historical figure with this surname was William Angrum, a prominent merchant and alderman in the city of York during the 15th century. He was known for his involvement in the city's wool trade and served as the Mayor of York in 1462.

In the 16th century, the ANGRUM surname appeared in the records of the Parish Church of St. Mary Redcliffe in Bristol, where several members of the Angrum family were baptized, married, and buried between 1550 and 1600.

One of the earliest known examples of the name in its modern spelling can be found in the records of the Elizabethan era, where a certain Thomas Angrum was listed as a freeman of the City of London in 1583.

Throughout the centuries, the ANGRUM surname has also been associated with various place names in England, such as Angram Moor in North Yorkshire, which may have influenced the spelling and pronunciation of the name in certain regions.
