Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Darwish family history? Darwish is an old Anglo-Saxon name that was given to a person who was a the Old English personal name Aldrich, meaning old ruler, and refers to "a son of Aldrich."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. Darwish has been recorded under many different variations, including Aldridge, Aldrich, Alderich, Alderidge, Eldrich, Elderidge, Elderich and many more. First found in the counties of Sussex, Suffolk, and Surrey, where the Darwish family held a family seat from very early times. The family is recorded in the Domesday Book as holding lands under the Norman King William, in 1086, with the Saxon spelling of Alderich, or Ealdric, or possibly Aelfric.

For many English families, the political and religious disarray that shrouded England made the far away New World an attractive prospect. On cramped disease-ridden ships, thousands migrated to those British colonies that would eventually become Canada and the United States. 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 Darwish or a variant listed above: George Aldrich who settled in Dorchester, Massachusetts in 1639; Henry Aldrich, who came to Dedham in 1645; George Aldrich, who arrived in Swansea in 1659.
