Chillingworth Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A palatal form of Killingworth, q.v.
Or Rabaz. See Rabaz. William C., the celebrated writer, was son of John C., Mayor of Oxford in 1642. The name is very rare, and is derived by corruption from Killingworth, Kynelingworth, Kenilworth, or Kivelingworth, now Kilworth, Leicestershire. This lordship, now divided into North and South Kilworth, was granted, t. William I., by Robert, Earl of Mellent, to Ralph (Rabaz), a Norman. Robert Rabaz, with Heloisa his wife, and Richard his son, granted the church of Kilworth to St. Mary de Pratis, Leicester, and the gift was confirmed by Henry II. (Nicholls, Leic. iv. 197). Stephen, son of Robert Rabaz, of Kilworth, gave lands to Sulby Abbey, Northants, in which county this family had large estates (Mod. ii. 630). About the time of King John this family divided into two branches, one retaining the name of Rabaz, the other that of Killingworth. Of the former was Stephen Rabaz, Viscount of Leicester, 1290, and M.P. for Northants, 1298. Robert Rabaz, of this line, was M.P. for Rutland 1313. Roger de Killingworth was patron of the church of Kilworth, 1220; Robert, his son, lived t. Henry III., and Roger de K. was a benefactor to Sulby Abbey, t. E. I. In 1316 William de Killingworth received pardon as an adherent of the Earl of Lancaster. A branch seems to have settled not far from Oxford, for John K., late Proctor of the University, was buried at Merton College, 1444. His tomb bears three cinquefoils, evidently derived from those of the Earls of Mellent, the suzerains of Killingworth. In 1506 John K. was Archdeacon of St. Alban’s (Coll. Top. et Geneal.), and t. Eliz., John K., Esq., possessed estates in Cambridge and the Eastern Counties.
From Chilworth; a location name in Hampshire.
