![Show Contents]() Nuce Surname History
The ancestry of the name Nuce dates from the ancient Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It comes from when the family lived near a yew tree. Nuce is a local surname, which belongs to the category of hereditary surnames. In this case, the surname Nuce comes from the Old English phrase, atten ew, which means, at the yew tree. The surname Nuce may also derive from the Old English word newe, which means new. This may have been a name given to newcomers to an area, and as such, it would have been a nickname surname. 1 Alternatively, the name could have been for someone who lived near a yew tree, from the Old English word eow. 2 Early Origins of the Nuce familyThe surname Nuce was first found in Cambridgeshire where Richard le Newe was first listed there in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. The same rolls also lists Robert le Newe in Wiltshire; and Simon le Neue in Bedfordshire. 3 The Feet of Fines of Warwickshire lists William le Neuwe there in 1221 and the Feet of Fines for Cambridgeshire lists Walter le New in 1234. John atte Newe was listed in the Subsidy Rolls of Somerset in 1327. 2 Kirby's Quest lists Richard le Nywe in Somerset, 1 Edward III (during the first year of Edward III's reign.) 4 Newe House, a manor house in the village of Pakenham, Suffolk remains today as it was built in 1622 by Sir Robert Bright.

Although the ocean trips took many lives, those who did get to North America were instrumental in building the necessary groundwork for what would become for new powerful nations. Some of the first immigrants to cross the Atlantic and come to North America bore the name Nuce, or a variant listed above:
