The history of the last name Manderville

The surname Manderville originated in Normandy, France, during the 11th century. It is believed to be derived from the Old French words "mander," meaning "to summon," and "ville," meaning "town" or "village." The name likely referred to someone who was a messenger or summoner in a particular town or village.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Manderville can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, which was a survey of land ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror after the Norman Conquest. The name appears as "Mandreville," suggesting that the spelling has evolved over time.

In the 12th century, a notable figure named Richard de Manderville (c. 1150-1192) was a Norman nobleman and one of the barons who rebelled against King John of England. He played a significant role in the baronial revolt that led to the signing of the Magna Carta in 1215.

During the 13th century, the name Manderville was also associated with the village of Mandeville in Normandy, which may have influenced the spelling and pronunciation of the surname. Records from this period show variations such as "Manndeville" and "Maundeville."

In the 14th century, Sir John Mandeville (c. 1300-1372) was an English knight and writer famous for his travels and his book, "The Travels of Sir John Mandeville," which described his journeys to the Holy Land and beyond. Although the authenticity of his accounts has been questioned, his book was widely popular and influential in medieval Europe.

Another notable figure with the surname Manderville was William Manderville (c. 1535-1589), an English Catholic martyr who was executed during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I for his religious beliefs. He was beatified by the Catholic Church in 1987.
