Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

The Bebbingtons derived their name from a Cheshire parish. The ancient family of De Bebington held the manor of that name for several generations up to the time of Richard II.; a younger branch settled at Nantwich, and one of its members lost six sons on the field of Flodden in 1513 (M.). The Bebbingtons have still their principal home in the Nantwich district, where they are numerously represented.
