Where did the English Bam family come from? What is the English Bam family crest and coat of arms? When did the Bam family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Bam family history? The ancestors of the bearers of the Bam family name are thought have lived in ancient Anglo-Saxon England. They were first found in the village and parish of Binns near Great Smeaton in Yorkshire. In medieval times, the name literally meant hollows, and indicated that the bearer lived near a hollow.Until quite recently, the English language has lacked a definite system of spelling rules. Consequently, Anglo-Saxon surnames are characterized by a multitude of spelling variations. Changes in Anglo-Saxon names were influenced by the evolution of the English language, as it incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other languages. Although Medieval scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, so it is common to find one person referred to by several different spellings of his surname, even the most literate people varied the spelling of their own names. Variations of the name Bam include Binns, Bins, Binnes, Binn and others. First found in Yorkshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times, long before the Norman Conquest in 1066 A.D.

Unfortunately, the majority of them traveled under extremely harsh conditions: overcrowding on the ships caused the majority of the immigrants to arrive diseased, famished, and destitute from the long journey across the ocean. For those families that arrived safely, modest prosperity was attainable, and many went on to make invaluable contributions to the development of the cultures of the new colonies. Research into the origins of individual families in North America revealed records of the immigration of a number of people bearing the name Bam or a variant listed above: Mary Binns who settled in New England in 1775; Charles Binns in Philadelphia in 1857; Benjamin Pemberton Binns in Philadelphia in 1817; John Bins settled in Philadelphia in 1854.. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Labore et diligentia Motto Translation: With labor and diligence.

We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:19. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
