Where did the English Hindle family come from? What is the English Hindle family crest and coat of arms? When did the Hindle family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Hindle family history? In ancient Anglo-Saxon England, the ancestors of the Hindle surname lived at Hindley, in Lancashire, or later at Hiendley, in the West Riding of Yorkshire. They are derived from the Old English words hind, which meant "female deer," and leah, which meant "forest clearing." The place-names as a whole mean "forest clearing where hinds are found."It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Hindle 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 Hindle include: Hindley, Hindeley, Hindle, Hyndley and others. First found in Lancashire 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 Hindle or a variant listed above: Hindle Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
