Where did the English Price family come from? What is the English Price family crest and coat of arms? When did the Price family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Price family history?
It is thought that most instances of the Price surname root from the ancient Brythonic Celts of Wales. The name Price, is from the Welsh personal name Rhys, which also took the forms Rice and Rees. The surname Price features the distinctive Welsh patronymic prefix ap-. The original forms of the name were ap-Rhys, ap-Rice, or ap-Rees. However there are also distinctly English instances of the name, and in this case, the name is thought to derive from the Middle English/Old French "pris," meaning "prize." Given the centuries that have passed, and the movement of families and individuals since this surname began to be used, the earliest roots of the bearers of Price are often indistinguishable.
