Where did the English Cattley family come from? What is the English Cattley family crest and coat of arms? When did the Cattley family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Cattley family history? The rich and ancient history of the Cattley family name dates back to the time of the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. It comes from the Old French names Caterine and Cateline, which were forms of the personal name Catharine. These names were introduced into England in the 12th century and became very popular, especially in the variant forms Catelin and Cateline. Thus the surname Cattley is a metronymic type of surname, and is derived from the name of the original bearer's mother. Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Cattley have been found, including Catlin, Catling, Catlyn, Catlyne, Catlyng and others. First found in Bedfordshire, 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.
