| ![Show Contents]() Newey History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Newey is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived near a yew tree. Newey is a local surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. In this case, the surname Newey comes from the Old English phrase, atten ew, which means, at the yew tree. The surname Newey may also derive from the Old English word newe, which means new. This may have been a name given to newcomers to an area, and as such, it would have been a nickname surname. 1 Alternatively, the name could have been for someone who lived near a yew tree, from the Old English word eow. 2 Early Origins of the Newey familyThe surname Newey was first found in Cambridgeshire where Richard le Newe was first listed there in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. The same rolls also lists Robert le Newe in Wiltshire; and Simon le Neue in Bedfordshire. 3 The Feet of Fines of Warwickshire lists William le Neuwe there in 1221 and the Feet of Fines for Cambridgeshire lists Walter le New in 1234. John atte Newe was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset in 1327. 2 Kirby's Quest lists Richard le Nywe in Somerset, 1 Edward III (during the first year of Edward III's reign.) 4 Newe House, a manor house in the village of Pakenham, Suffolk remains today as it was built in 1622 by Sir Robert Bright. Castle Newe was a mansion house, situated in Aberdeenshire, built in 1831 by Archibald Simpson. Early History of the Newey familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Newey research.
