- Origins Available:
 England The origin of the name Seaborn is under much discussion. One school of thought claims the name is a local name from "Seabourne," and not 'born at sea'; 1 other claims the name is patronymic as in 'the son of Sebern." 2 And yet another claims the name was actually Norman, descending from William Sabrin, Normandy 1180 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae) 3 Two references claim the name is Scandinavian 4 or Icelandic. 2 And another claims "the name literally means 'sea-warrior.' " 5 Early Origins of the Seaborn familyThe surname Seaborn was first found in Huntingdonshire where early Latin forms of the name were found, specifically Sabernus Monachus and Philippus filius Seberni who were listed there 1114-1130. A few years later, Margareta filia Seberni, was found in the Curia Regis Rolls of the Isle of Man in 1207 and John Sebern was found in Bury St. Edmunds, Suffolk in 1190. Sayer Sabarn was recorded in the Subsidy Rolls for Essex in 1327 and fifty years later, John Sabern was listed there in the Assize Rolls of 1377. 5 In Herefordshire, the family name was referenced in the 13th century. Today Seaburn Dene is a northern suburb of Sunderland and Seaburn is a seaside resort and suburb of Sunderland, both located in North East England. The Hundredorum Rolls include: Alexander Sebern in Huntingdonshire; William Seberne in Oxfordshire; and Geoffrey Sebern in Cambridgeshire. 2 Early History of the Seaborn familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Seaborn research.
