Origins Available: English, Welsh Where did the English Edwardes family come from? What is the English Edwardes family crest and coat of arms? When did the Edwardes family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Edwardes family history? The Edwardes surname is derived from the old English word "Eadweard" which means "prosperity guard." Prior to the Norman Conquest of England, Edward was a common personal; its popularity probably due to the fact that Edward the Confessor had been the Patron Saint of England before Saint George.Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Edwardes family name include Edwards, Edward, Edwardes and others. First found in Wiltshire where Edward of Salisbury, also known as Edward the Sheriff (of Wiltshire) held land at the time of the Domesday Survey. He was an ancestor of Earls of Salisbury. The name appeared as Eaduuardus, Eduuardus, Eduuard in the Domesday Book. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Edwardes research.

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Edwardes surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Edwardes Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
