Youngman History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Early Origins of the Youngman family
The surname Youngman was first found in Norfolk and Essex where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the year 1235 when Roger Yungeman held estates in Essex.
