Endless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Paradise, Paradice, Paradis, de Paradis, Paredise and many more.

First found in Kent where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Norman influence of English history dominated after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. The family name was first referenced in the 14th century when they held estates in that county.

To escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families reveals a number of immigrants bearing the name Paradise or a variant listed above:

Paradise Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century


  • John Paradise settled in Virginia in 1654

Paradise Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century


  • John Paradise, who arrived in New York in 1761
  • Francis Paradise Jr. who was deported to America in 1766

Paradise Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century


  • Lucy Paradise, who arrived in Virginia in 1815
  • Benjamin Paradise, who settled in Philadelphia in 1868
