Origins Available: English, German Where did the English Goring family come from? What is the English Goring family crest and coat of arms? When did the Goring family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Goring family history? The name Goring was carried to England in the enormous movement of people that followed the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Goring family lived in the places named Goring in Oxfordshire and Sussex. The place-name was originally derived from the Old English word Garingas, which means people of Gara. This name is a short form of various compound names with the first portion gar, which means spear. Endless spelling variations are a prevailing characteristic of Norman surnames. Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules, and the introduction of Norman French added an unfamiliar ingredient to the English linguistic stew. French and Latin, the languages of the court, also influenced spellings. Finally, Medieval scribes generally spelled words according to how they sounded, so one person was often referred to by different spellings in different documents. The name has been spelled Goring, Gorring, Goringe, Gorringe, Goreing and many more. First found in Sussex where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor of Goring. At the time of the taking of the Domesday Book in 1086, a census initiated by Duke William of Normandy after his conquest of England in 1066, Goring was a village held by Robert from tenant in chief Earl Roger. Conjecturally Robert was the founder of this family name. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Goring research.

To escape the political and religious persecution within England at the time, many English families left for the various British colonies abroad. The voyage was extremely difficult, though, and the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving. But for those who made it, the trip was most often worth it. Many of the families who arrived went on to make valuable contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.
