The history of the last name Endy

The surname Endy is believed to have originated in England, with records dating back to the 13th century. It is thought to be derived from the Old English word "ende," meaning "end" or "boundary," suggesting that the name may have referred to someone who lived at the end of a town or near a boundary marker.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Endy can be found in the Hundred Rolls of Bedfordshire from the year 1273, where a person named Walter Endy is mentioned. This indicates that the name was already established in the region during that time period.

In the 14th century, the surname Endy appeared in various historical documents, such as the Patent Rolls of 1344, which mentioned a William Endy from Lincolnshire. This suggests that the name had spread across different counties in England by that point.

The Endy family appears to have had strong ties to the county of Oxfordshire, as several notable individuals bearing this surname hailed from that area. One such person was Sir John Endy (c. 1450-1521), a prominent landowner and member of the gentry who served as a Member of Parliament for Oxfordshire in the early 16th century.

Another notable figure with the surname Endy was Thomas Endy (c. 1580-1658), an English clergyman and author who served as the Rector of Longworth in Oxfordshire. He is best known for his work "The Exposition upon the Book of Proverbs," published in 1659.

In the 18th century, the name Endy was associated with the town of Banbury in Oxfordshire, where a family by the name of Endy owned a successful brewing business. One member of this family, William Endy (1735-1812), was a prominent businessman and philanthropist who made significant contributions to the town.

As the Endy surname spread across England, different variations of the name emerged, such as Endey, Endee, and Endie. These variations likely arose due to regional dialects and spelling variations common in historical records.

It is worth noting that while the surname Endy has its roots in England, it has since been carried to various other parts of the world through migration and immigration. However, the origins and earliest recorded instances of the name can be traced back to the English counties mentioned above.
