The surname EARLYWINE is of English origin, emerging in the late medieval period around the 13th century. It is believed to have originated in the region of East Anglia, particularly in the counties of Norfolk and Suffolk. EARLYWINE is a locational surname, derived from a now-lost place name that likely incorporated the Old English elements "erl" (meaning "earl" or "nobleman") and "win" (meaning "pasture" or "meadow").

One of the earliest recorded instances of the EARLYWINE surname can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Norfolk, a census-like record from 1273. In this document, a person named Robert de Erleswyne is mentioned, indicating the presence of the surname in that region during that time period. Variations in spelling were common in medieval times, and the name appeared as Erleswyne, Erliswyne, and Erlewyne in different historical records.

During the 14th century, the EARLYWINE surname began to spread beyond East Anglia, with records showing individuals with this name in other parts of England. In the Poll Tax returns of 1379, a John Erlwyne is listed in the county of Worcestershire, while a Thomas Erlwyne is recorded in the county of Oxfordshire.
