Origin Displayed: English

Where did the English Labar family come from? What is the English coat of arms/family crest? When did the Labar family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the history of the family name?

The founding heritage of the Labar family is in the Anglo-Saxon culture that once dominated in Britain. The name Labar comes from when one of the family worked as a person who worked as the laborer. This surname was originally derived from the common trades of the medieval era which transcended European cultural and linguistic boundaries. The laborer was also known as the taskman or the workman.

The first dictionaries that appeared in the last few hundred years did much to standardize the English language. Before that time, spelling variations in names were a common occurrence. The language was changing, incorporating pieces of other languages, and the spelling of names changed with it. Labar has been spelled many different ways, including Labourer, Labor, Laborer, Labour, Laboura, Laberer, Labberer and many more.

First found in Yorkshire, where they were seated from ancient times.

Thousands of English families in this era began to emigrate the New World in search of land and freedom from religious and political persecution. Although the passage was expensive and the ships were dark, crowded, and unsafe, those who made the voyage safely were rewarded with opportunities unavailable to them in their homeland. Research into passenger and immigration lists has revealed some of the very first Labars to arrive in North America: William Labor, who sailed to Virginia in 1652; Jaco Labour to Virginia in 1663; and Michael Labourer to Pennsylvania in 1765.
