The history of the last name Cashdollar

The surname CASHDOLLAR is of Anglo-Saxon origin and is believed to have originated in England during the 12th century. It is derived from the Old English words "cæsc" meaning "cash" and "dol-ar" meaning "dollar", which were combined to form a descriptive name for someone who dealt in coins or money.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name CASHDOLLAR can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Gloucestershire, dated 1198, which mention a William Cashdollar who was a tax collector in the region. This suggests that the name was already in use by the late 12th century, and was likely associated with individuals involved in financial or monetary affairs.

In the 13th century, the CASHDOLLAR name appears in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire, a census-like record from 1273. This document lists a John Cashdollar who held land in the village of Stanton St. John. The spelling of the name in this record is "Cashduller", indicating the variation in spellings that was common in medieval times.

During the 14th century, the CASHDOLLAR name gained prominence in the city of London, where several individuals bearing the name were recorded as moneylenders and bankers. One notable figure was Richard CASHDOLLAR (c. 1320 - 1385), who served as a financial advisor to King Edward III and was instrumental in establishing the Royal Mint in London.

The CASHDOLLAR name continued to be associated with the financial and mercantile trades throughout the 15th and 16th centuries. Thomas CASHDOLLAR (1472 - 1549) was a wealthy merchant and banker in Bristol, known for his philanthropy and support of local churches. Another prominent figure was Elizabeth CASHDOLLAR (1518 - 1592), who was a successful businesswoman and one of the first female members of the Worshipful Company of Goldsmiths in London.

In the 17th century, the CASHDOLLAR name gained recognition in the field of literature. William CASHDOLLAR (1610 - 1688) was an English poet and playwright who was a member of the literary circle known as the "Tribe of Ben", which included famous writers such as John Dryden and Robert Herrick.

While the CASHDOLLAR surname has its roots in England, it has since spread to other parts of the world, particularly through emigration to the Americas and other regions during the colonial era. However, its origins and historical associations with finance, commerce, and moneylending remain a significant part of its heritage.
