Of all the Anglo-Saxon names to come from Britain, Salut is one of the most ancient. The name is a result of the original family having lived in the county of Cheshire, where they held the estate of Sale. The surname Salut was originally derived form the Old English word soel which refers to a hall. In this case the original bearers of the surname Salut were either servants at the hall or resided near a dining hall. 1 Early Origins of the Salut familyThe surname Salut was first found in Cheshire but the family can be found throughout ancient Britain in early years.

Robert de la Sale was Bailiff of Norwich in 1327. 2 "About the time of Edward I., Thomas, son of William De la Sale, held twelve acres of land in Ickleford, Hertfordshire. According to Cussans, the Hertfordshire Sales hailed from Scotland nearly two centuries ago, and he mentions Francis Sale, a gentleman who was married at Ashwell in 1694." 3 Early History of the Salut familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Salut research.
