The history of the last name Eubank

The surname Eubank is believed to have originated in England during the medieval period. It is thought to be a locational name derived from one of several places in England called Ewbanke or Ewbancke, which are believed to have been named after an Anglo-Saxon individual with the name Eow or Eofa.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Eubank can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is recorded as Euebanc. This suggests that the name was already well-established in England by the 11th century.

During the 13th and 14th centuries, the name appears to have been concentrated in the counties of Lancashire and Yorkshire, with various spellings such as Ewebank, Ewebonk, and Ewbancke being recorded in local records and charters.

One notable figure with the surname Eubank was Sir John Eubank (c.1500-1567), who served as Lord Mayor of London in 1554. Another was William Eubank (1619-1701), a prominent Puritan minister and author who emigrated to New England in the 17th century.

In the 18th and 19th centuries, the name Eubank began to spread more widely throughout England and Wales. Some individuals of note from this period include the artist Thomas Eubank (1770-1847) and the Baptist minister and writer Henry Ebenezer Eubank (1806-1880).

As the name Eubank spread throughout the English-speaking world, it also took root in other countries, particularly the United States and Canada. One of the earliest recorded instances of the name in North America was that of William Eubank, who was born in Virginia in 1685.
