Rideout is a name that was carried to England in the great wave of migration from Normandy following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Rideout family lived in Somerset and Yorkshire. There are many thoughts about the origin of the name. Gernerally, the most logical explanation is that the name was derived from the term redoubt which was a military fortification.

This is a small excerpt from our full listing of settlers for the name Rideout. Our PDF Extended History provide the complete listing from our dbase of over 500,000 settlers!
In England at this time, the uncertainty of the political and religious environment of the time caused many families to board ships for distant British colonies in the hopes of finding land and opportunity, and escaping persecution. The voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, though, and many arrived in North America sick, starved, and destitute. Those who did make it, however, were greeted with greater opportunities and freedoms that they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Early immigration records have shown some of the first Rideouts to arrive on North American shores:

- James Rideout, who arrived in Massachusetts in 1676
Rideout Settlers in the United States in the 19th Century
- J R Rideout, who landed in San Francisco, Cal in 1851
- S Rideout, who arrived in San Francisco, Cal in 1851

Learn all about the different symbols of your Coat of Arms with our deluxe symbolism. This product will explain the full meaning of you Coat of Arms including motto translations.
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Toutz foitz chevalier
Motto Translation: Always a knight.
