The history of the last name Sibblies

The surname Sibblies is believed to have originated in England during the Middle Ages. The name is thought to be derived from the Old English word "siblingas," which translates to "kinsmen" or "relatives." This suggests that the name may have initially referred to a group of siblings or a close-knit family.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the Sibblies name dates back to the 13th century, where it appeared in the Subsidy Rolls of Sussex in 1296 as "Sibylles." This spelling variation likely arose due to the lack of standardized spelling practices during that era.

In the 14th century, the name surfaced in the Hundred Rolls of Oxfordshire, where it was listed as "Sybbeles." This record suggests that the name had spread to different regions of England by that time.

The Sibblies name is notably absent from the Domesday Book, a comprehensive survey of England commissioned by William the Conqueror in 1086. This absence could indicate that the name emerged after the Norman Conquest or that it was not widely prevalent during that period.

In the 17th century, the Sibblies family seemed to have established a presence in the county of Warwickshire. Thomas Sibblies, born in 1623 in Stratford-upon-Avon, was a successful farmer and landowner. His son, also named Thomas Sibblies (1658-1721), was a respected figure in the local community and served as a church warden for many years.

The 18th century saw the emergence of a prominent Sibblies family in the city of Bristol. Robert Sibblies (1725-1798) was a prosperous merchant and ship owner, and his son, John Sibblies (1760-1832), followed in his footsteps, becoming a successful businessman and philanthropist.
