The name Younglove comes from the ancient
Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. It was a name for a person who was very young, from the Old English word
yong and
yung and was first bestowed on the younger of two bearers of the same
personal name, usually a son who was named for his father.
Early Origins of the Younglove family
The surname Younglove was first found in
Essex, where the first record of the name appears in the
Anglo-Saxon Chronicle as Wilfer seo lunga in 744. Many years later Walter Yonge was listed in the
Subsidy Rolls for
Sussex in 1296.

Migration of the Younglove family to the New World and Oceana
To escape the unstable social climate in
England of this time, many families boarded ships for the New World with the hope of finding land, opportunity, and greater religious and political freedom. Although the voyages were expensive, crowded, and difficult, those families that arrived often found greater opportunities and freedoms than they could have experienced at home. Many of those families went on to make significant contributions to the rapidly developing colonies in which they settled. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Younglove were among those contributors:

The Younglove Motto
The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Toujours jeune
Motto Translation: Always young.
