Early Origins of the Wibling family

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 1202 where Jordan Wibelin was held. It made be a Norman of Wibbe but the early name has not been found.
