From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a nickname. or offic. 'the child.' Perhaps the eldest son, the heir (v. Eyre and Ayre). Hence Childe Harold simply revives the 'Childe Waters,' 'Childe Rolands,' or 'Childe Thopas's,' of mediaeval days. It is somewhat hard to fix the sense of Child in nomenclature. It evidently means a page occasionally. In the Morte Arthure mention is made of a youth named 'Chastelayne, a chylde of the Kynges chambyre.'
William le Child, Close Rolls, 12 Edward I.
Godwin Child, Berkshire, Henry III-Edward I: Testa de Nevill, sive Liber Feodorum, temp. Henry III-Edward I.
Brian le Child, Cambridgeshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.
Walter le Child, Oxfordshire, ibid.
John le Child, Sussex, 20 Edward I: Placita de Quo Warranto, temp. Edward I-III.
Robertus Childe, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
The form Childs and the corrupted Chiles seem to represent the patronymic s, as in Jones, Williams. Simmonds, &c. Lower says, 'In Domesday the epithet Cild or Cilt is applied to several persons of distinction' (Patronymica Britannica).
Child, Page and Varlet were names given to youths from seven to fourteen years of age, while receiving their education for knighthood.
