Where did the English White family come from? What is the English White family crest and coat of arms? When did the White family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the White family history?
The bearers of White and its variants are generally thought to have come from the noble family of Le Blancs in Normandy, who traveled to England in the wake of the Norman Conquest. Although the name certainly came to Britain from Normandy, there is some speculation that it already existed in Britain prior to the conquest. The word "white" itself is derived from the Old English word "hwit." This name was most likely originally used as a nickname for a person with white hair or a pale complexion.
