Aglionby Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Aglionby,' a township in the parish of Warwick, three miles from Carlisle, Cumberland.
1583. John Aglionby, Cumberland: Register of the University of Oxford.
1619. George Aiglionbey, Oxon. doc.: ibid.
(French-Latin + Scandinavian) belonging to Aglionby (Cumb.), 14th cent. Agillonby, 13th cent. Aglounbi, Aglunby = Aguillon’s Estate [the pers. name is a nickname t. Old French aguillon (mod. French aiguillon), a goad, spur, a diminutive of aguille (mod. aiguille), a needle; from Latin acule-us, diminutive of ac-us, a needle + Old Norse bý-r, farmstead, estate]
The family "trace their descent from Walter de Aguilon, who came into England with William the Conqueror, and into Cumberland with Randolph de Meschines. He gave name to the place of his dwelling, and called his seat or capital messuage Aguilon, or Aglion's building." Such is the statement of Hutchinson (Cumberland i, 195), and there is no doubt that aperson called Aglion orsome similar name, in early times, imposed the name on the manor of Aglion-by, but whether that personage came from Normandy as here asserted may well be doubted. See Aguillon.
(Northen French) Local From Aglion, an eaglet, and by, a residence or habitation—the eagle's nest.
