The history of the last name Evilsizer

The surname EVILSIZER is of English origin, dating back to the late 16th century. It is believed to have originated in the county of Lincolnshire, where it was likely derived from the Old English words "yfele" (meaning evil) and "sizer" (meaning to measure or assess). This suggests that the name may have originally referred to a person who was responsible for measuring or assessing goods or services, perhaps with a reputation for being strict or harsh in their duties.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the parish records of St. Mary's Church in Stamford, Lincolnshire, where a Thomas Evilsizer was listed as a churchwarden in 1591. The name also appears in the Subsidy Rolls of 1628 for the nearby village of Tallington, where a William Evilsizer is listed as a taxpayer.

During the 17th and 18th centuries, the name spread to other parts of England, with various spellings being used, such as Evelsizer, Evylsizer, and Evilsizer. One notable bearer of the name was John Evilsizer (1675-1742), a wealthy merchant and landowner from Nottinghamshire. His son, William Evilsizer (1702-1778), was a prominent figure in local politics and served as a justice of the peace.

In the 19th century, the name continued to be found in various parts of England, with several EVILSIZER families residing in the counties of Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, and Yorkshire. One prominent individual from this era was Robert Evilsizer (1812-1893), a successful industrialist and philanthropist from Leeds, who made significant contributions to the development of the city's textile industry.

Another notable figure was Margaret Evilsizer (1840-1918), a pioneering educator and advocate for women's rights. She was born in Lincolnshire and later became the headmistress of a prestigious girls' school in London, where she championed the cause of equal educational opportunities for women.

Throughout its history, the surname EVILSIZER has been relatively rare, with only a small number of families bearing the name. However, its unique origins and distinctive spelling have ensured that it has maintained a distinct identity within the broader tapestry of English surnames.
