Where did the English Cast family come from? What is the English Cast family crest and coat of arms? When did the Cast family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Cast family history? The name Cast finds its origins with the ancient Anglo-Saxons of England. It was given to one who worked as a maker of boxes or chests. The surname Cast is derived from the Old French word casse, which means case. Thus, Cast is a metonymic type of occupational surname; it is derived from the principal object associated with the occupation, which in this case was the product produced.The English language only became standardized in the last few centuries; therefore, spelling variations are common among early Anglo-Saxon names. As the form of the English language changed, even the spelling of literate people's names evolved. Cast has been recorded under many different variations, including Cash, Cass, Cashe and others. First found in Cambridgeshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Those hardy settlers that survived the journey often went on to make important contributions to the emerging nations in which they landed. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Cast or a variant listed above: Cast Settlers in the United States in the 18th Century
