Early Origins of the Snellinge familyThe surname Snellinge was first found in Cambridgeshire where the first recording of the family was found in the Domesday Book of 1086 as Snellinc. 1 Another source confirms this entry and adds that this was in fact, an entry a tenant who held the lands before the Conquest. 2 It is generally thought that the name was derived from the root surname Snell which was a nickname "for a brisk or active person, from the Middle English snell, quick, lively." 3 By the time of the Pipe Rolls, Andrew and Brithmarus Snelling were listed in Essex in 1204; Pat Snelling was found in Hertfordshire in 1222; and Rams Snelling was found in Norfolk c. 1250. 4 Kirby's Quest lists: Walter Snellyng; Michael Snellyng; and John Snellyng, all in Somerset, 1 Edward III (during the first year of Edward III's reign.) 5 Early History of the Snellinge familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Snellinge research.
