Where did the English Terryn family come from? What is the English Terryn family crest and coat of arms? When did the Terryn family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Terryn family history? The name Terryn is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from when the family lived in the area known as Tarrant found in the county of Dorset.It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Terryn 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. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. The variations of the name Terryn include: Tarrant, Tarrents, Tarrent, Tarant, Tarent, Tarrat, Tarrett and many more. First found in Dorset, where they held a family seat from ancient times.

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 Terryn or a variant listed above: Mr. and Mrs. Francis Tarrant, who sailed to Boston, Massachusetts in 1712; Henry Tarrant to Virginia in 1731; and John Tarrant to America in 1754.
