Ringere History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsThe Ringere surname in England is thought to have arisen from two distinct sources. It evolved from the Norman personal name Reinger, or Rainger, which is composed of the Germanic elements "ragin," meaning "advice," and "ger," meaning a "spear." It also evolved from Old English "hringanas," meaning "a ring" and from the Middle English "ringen," meaning "to ring," an occupational name for a maker of rings, or perhaps for a bell ringer. 1 2 Early Origins of the Ringere familyThe surname Ringere was first found in Suffolk where Hugo le Ringere was listed in the Curia Regis Rolls of 1207.
