Darleink History, Family Crest & Coats of ArmsThe Anglo-Saxon name Darleink comes from its first bearer, who was a person who was greatly loved by his friends and family. The surname was originally derived from the word deorling, which meant darling. 1 2 Early Origins of the Darleink familyThe surname Darleink was first found in Devon where Oter Dirlinges sunu was listed (1100-1130.) 3 However, another source claims there is an even older Saxon reference "AElfmar Dyrling, a noble youth is mentioned in the Saxon Chronicle." 4 The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle dates back to the late 9th century probably in Wessex and was updated through 1154. The name Derling with no personal name was listed in Bedfordshire 1133-1160 and later in the Pipe Rolls of Devon in 1177. In the same year many miles to the north, the first listing of the name in Scotland was found specifically Derlig de Ardift who was a witness to a charter. 5 But continuing the quest in England, we found Durling atte Forde in 1330, William Dierling (Derling) in the Pipe Rolls of Devon 1195-1196. 3 The Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls of 1379 lists: Ricardus Derlyng; Adam Derlyng; and Johannes Derlyng. 2 A few years later in Scotland, Waldevus Darling or Derlyng was a charter witness in Roxburgh c. 1338. Sir John Derlynge was precentor of Caithness in 1368 and later John Derling and Andrew Derling were burgesses of Edinburgh in 1381. 5 Early History of the Darleink familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Darleink research.
