Where did the English Hallaway family come from? What is the English Hallaway family crest and coat of arms? When did the Hallaway family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hallaway family history? The ancestors of the name Hallaway date back to the Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name is derived from when the Hallaway family lived as inhabitants at the hollow-way or holy way. Hallaway is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. Habitation names form the other broad category of surnames that were derived from place-names.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Hallaway are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Hallaway include: Holloway, Hollway, Holoway, Hollaway and others. First found in Somerset where they held a family seat from very ancient times, some say well before the Norman Conquest and the arrival of Duke William at Hastings in 1066 A.D.

Many English families tired of political and religious strife left Britain for the new colonies in North America. Although the trip itself offered no relief - conditions on the ships were extremely cramped, and many travelers arrived diseased, starving, and destitute - these immigrants believed the opportunities that awaited them were worth the risks. Once in the colonies, many of the families did indeed prosper and, in turn, made significant contributions to the culture and economies of the growing colonies. An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Hallaway or a variant listed above: Hallaway Settlers in the United States in the 17th Century
