Early Origins of the Colinbourn family

The surname Colinbourn was first found in Wiltshire at Collingbourne Ducis or Collingbourne Abbas, villages and parishes that date back to 903 where there were listed as Colengaburnam. By the time of the Domesday Book in 1086, the village was named Colingeburne and probably meant "stream of the family or followers of a man called Col or Cola" from the Old English personal name + burna. 1 At that time, the lands were held by Croc and Fulford from Winchester Abbey. The addition of the Latin "ducis" and "abbas" denote the possession of the Dukes of Lancaster as in (Latin ducis, "of the duke.")

Ruald de Colineburna was listed in the Pipe Rolls of Warwickshire in 1179 and Sarah of Colingburn' was listed in Assize Rolls of 1249. 2
