Early Origins of the Novian family

The surname Novian was first found in Devon where one of the first records of the family was when "the barony [of Totnes] was given to Roger de Novant. Under John it was divided, Henry de Novant holding one moiety and William de Bruce, a grandson of Judhel, the other. The Novant half passed to the Valletorts, and then to the Cantelupes, who also acquired the remaining portion." 1
