A multitude of spelling variations characterize Norman surnames. Many variations occurred because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had a pronounced effect, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, one person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. The various spellings include Argent, Argentine, Argenton, Argente and others.First found in Bedfordshire and Cambridgeshire in the south of England. The L'argent family was granted lands in this county from Duke William for its assistance in the Battle of Hastings in 1066, and held estates there from this early time. The earliest records of the name in Britain date back to 1180, when Geoffrey Argent was listed in the Pipe Rolls of Northamptonshire.
