Early Origins of the Glading family

The surname Glading was first found in Staffordshire and Lincolnshire where Gladuin(e) was first recorded in the Domesday Book of 1086. 1 In Latin, the place name was listed as Gladuin-us and Gleduin-us. 2

While both counties are listed in the Domesday Book, Staffordshire was the county that had the first listing for the family: Glad(e)wine was listed at Burton, Staffordshire c. 1113. A few years later, Henry and Peter Gladwine were listed at Winton, Hampshire in 1148 and Robert Gledewyne was later listed in the Assize Rolls of Kent in 1317. 3

This latter source continues to note that the name "was unrecorded in Old English, but fairly common in the 12th century." 3

The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 listed Walter Gladewyne and Roger Gladewine as both holding lands in Cambridgeshire at that time. 4

Two sources notes that the name could have been a nickname for "merry or kind friend from the [Old English glaed + wine, friend] " 2 or "kind friend" 5
