Deanes is a name of ancient Anglo-Saxon origin and comes from a family once having lived in an area where there was a valley. The place-name is derived from the Old English word denu, when translated means valley. This Old English word has also given rise to other local names such as West Dean in Sussex, Deane in Hampshire and Dean in Essex.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. Deanes has been recorded under many different variations, including Dean, Deane, Dene, Deans, Deanes, Denes, Adeane and others. First found in Sussex where the first record was of Ralph Dene holding manor and estates in that shire. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Deanes research.

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 Deanes or a variant listed above: Deanes Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
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: Forti et fideli nihil difficile Motto Translation: To the brave and faithful man nothing is difficult.
The Deanes Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Deanes Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons.
