Origin Displayed: English

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

It was among those Anglo-Saxon tribes that once ruled over Britain that the name Muddiman was formed. The name was derived from Michaelmas, derived from the season or day that the child was born.

Until the dictionary, an invention of only the last few hundred years, the English language lacked any comprehensive system of spelling rules. Consequently, spelling variations in names are frequently found in early Anglo-Saxon and later Anglo-Norman documents. One person's name was often spelled several different ways over a lifetime. The recorded variations of Muddiman include Middlemass, Middlemas, Middlemaist, Middlemiss and many more.

First found in Lincolnshire where they held a family seat at Middlemarsh, some say before the Norman Conquest in 1066, but like most Anglo Saxon families they soon found the oppression of the Norman intolerable, and moved north to Scotland where they obtained lands from a grant from the King of Scotland and became tenants of the Abbey of Kelso.

  • Ancient origin of the name (usually pre-1100)

Thousands of English families boarded ships sailing to the New World in the hope of escaping the unrest found in England at this time. Although the search for opportunity and freedom from persecution abroad took the lives of many because of the cramped conditions and unsanitary nature of the vessels, the opportunity perceived in the growing colonies of North America beckoned. Many of the settlers who survived the journey went on to make important contributions to the transplanted cultures of their adopted countries. The Muddiman were among these contributors, for they have been located in early North American records: George Middlemane (Middlemast) settled in Virginia in 1679; William Middlemass, who came to Virginia in 1723; James Middlemiss, who came to America in 1726.
