![Show Contents]() Inglish History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The name Inglish comes from the Old English word "Englisc," originally used to describe the Angles as distinct from the Saxons. It also appeared in the Latinized form Anglicus. In the Scottish-English borderlands, it is thought that the name was used to refer to an Englishman or an English speaker, as opposed to a Gaelic speaker. 1 2 "The old Scottish form of ' English,' formerly applied to the descendants of Englishmen settled in Scotland, especially of prisoners taken by Malcolm III, from the northern counties in 1070. For years after that date, we are told, English servants or slaves were to be found in every village, and almost in every house. Singularly enough, the Baronet family, though of Scottish origin, deduce from William Inglis, who had, in 1395, a grant of lands and this surname from Robert III., for killing an Englishman on the borders-Anglus at Anglum occidendo; truly as odd an origin as surname ever had." 3 "A State document relating to a serious raid across the border in 1541, speaks of the attacking party as gathering 'to the number of fifty-two Inglismen' " 4 Early Origins of the Inglish familyThe surname Inglish was first found in Berwickshire where one of the first records of the family was Richard Anglicus witnessed David's great charter to Melrose, a. 1153. A few years later, "Adam le Englis witnessed a confirmation charter of the fishery in Torduff, c. 1194-1211, and Walter Anglicus witnessed a charter by Alan, lord of Galloway to the Abbey of Kelso, a. 1208. In 1296 Rauf le Engleys was commanded "to answer at law as a man at the king's faith and peace to all having claims against him. Several individuals of the name rendered homage [to King Edward I of England] in 1296: Johan le Engleys of Berwickshire, Phellipe le Engleys, Wautier le Engleys, and Richard le Engleys, all three of Lanarkshire, and Mawcolum le Engleys of Perthshire." 5 Early History of the Inglish familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Inglish research.

The British first settled the British West Indies around 1604. They made many attempts but failed in some to establish settlements on the Islands including Saint Lucia and Grenada. By 1627 they had managed to establish settlements on St. Kitts (St. Christopher) and Barbados, but by 1641 the Spanish had moved in and destroyed some of these including those at Providence Island. The British continued to expand the settlements including setting the First Federation in the British West Indies by 1674; some of the islands include Barbados, Bermuda, Cayman Island, Turks and Caicos, Jamaica and Belize then known as British Honduras. By the 1960's many of the islands became independent after the West Indies Federation which existed from 1958 to 1962 failed due to internal political conflicts. After this a number of Eastern Caribbean islands formed a free association. 7Inglish Settlers in West Indies in the 17th Century- Mary Inglish, who settled in Barbados in 1635

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Nobilis est ira leonis
Motto Translation: The wrath of the lion is noble
