Where did the English Danesh family come from? What is the English Danesh family crest and coat of arms? When did the Danesh family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Danesh family history? The name Danesh reached English shores for the first time with the ancestors of the Danesh family as they migrated following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The name Danesh is based on the medieval given name, Dennis, which comes from the Greek name Dionysios, which means a follower of the god Dionysius.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Danesh are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Danesh include Dennis, Denis, Dennys, Dennyss, Denys, Denniss and many more. First found in Lancashire where they had been granted lands by William the Conqueror for their assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Faced with the chaos present in England at that time, many English families looked towards the open frontiers of the New World with its opportunities to escape oppression and starvation. People migrated to North America, as well as Australia and Ireland in droves, paying exorbitant rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America carried the name Danesh, or a variant listed above: Thomas Dennis who settled in Boston in 1630. Edward Dennis settled there also about six years after. Danniel Dennis was banished to Barbados in 1635; Ann Dennis settled in Virginia in 1650.
