 England The distinguished and ancient surname Sartin comes originally from the Old French "certeyn," meaning "self-assured" or "determined." The name was probably first brought to England in the wake of the Norman invasion of 1066; however, it is also thought that some branches of the Sartin family are descended from the French Huguenots who fled to England and Scotland. Early Origins of the Sartin familyThe surname Sartin was first found in London, where William Certayn is registered in the "Calendar of Letter Books" for the year 1394. The young Sartin family assumed a prominent position in the city at this time, holding lands granted by Duke William after the Conquest of 1066.
