The history of the last name Ausborne

The surname AUSBORNE is of English origin, first appearing in records from the 13th century. It is derived from the Old English words "aus" meaning "ash tree" and "burna" meaning "stream" or "brook". The name likely referred to someone who lived near an ash tree by a stream or brook.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name is found in the Pipe Rolls of Gloucestershire from 1275, where a William Assebourne is listed. The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 also mentions a John de Ashborne in Oxfordshire. These early spellings highlight the evolution of the name from its Old English roots.

The AUSBORNE name is also found in the Domesday Book of 1086, albeit in a slightly different form. An entry for Berkshire records a landowner named Achi de Aisseborne, indicating the presence of the name in Norman-controlled England following the conquest of 1066.

During the Middle Ages, the AUSBORNE surname was particularly prominent in the county of Staffordshire. Records from the 14th century mention a William de Asseburne who served as the Sheriff of Staffordshire in 1349. Another notable figure was John AUSBORNE, a wealthy merchant from Stafford who was granted a coat of arms in 1487.

In the 16th century, the name appears in various parish records across England. One example is the baptism of Margery AUSBORNE in 1592 at St. Mary's Church in Stafford. Around this time, the spelling of the name began to solidify into its modern form.

Throughout history, several notable individuals have borne the AUSBORNE surname. These include:
