Waddilove History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsThe Waddilove surname is a habitational name thought to have been taken on from the since lost place, Wadlow in Toddington, Bedfordshire. This place named in turn, is derived from the Old English personal name Wada, and the Old English "hlaw," meaning a "hill," or a "barrow." Early Origins of the Waddilove familyThe surname Waddilove was first found in Bedfordshire (Old English: Bedanfordscir), located in Southeast-central England, formerly part of the Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Mercia, where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1212 when John de Wadelaw held estates in that shire.
