Codrington Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Codrington,' a tithing in the parish of Wapley, three miles from Chipping Sodbury, Gloucestershire, Sir Edward Codrington (1770-1851), admiral, came of the old family of Codrington, of Dodington, Gloucestershire': Dictionary of National Biography.
Robert Codrington (d. 1665), author, born "of an ancient and genteel family in Gloucestershire"': ibid.
1686. John Courthope and Rachaell Codrington: Marriage Lic. (Faculty Office).
1797. Married — Joseph Lyons Walrond and Caroline Codrington: St. George, Hanover Square.
A parish united with Wapley, co. Gloucester, where the family were seated in the XV. century, and probably much earlier.
Or De Cantilupe, from Gotherington, Gloucester. Roger de Cantilupe, living 1201, had possessions in Wapley and Gotherington; and with his son Roger made grants there to St. Augustine’s Abbey, Bristol (Fosbroke, Glouc. ii. 20; Mon. Angl.). The abbey made further purchases there from Richard, son of the above Roger (Ibid.). It appears that this family remained at Gotherington or Codrington, which name they bore. Geoffry de Cotherington was living here t. Edward III. (Atkins, Glouc., 391,397). He was probably grandson of Richard de Cantilupe of this place. The Codringtons bore argent, a fesse gules, differenced by lions. Some branches of Cantilupe also bore argent, a fesse gules, differenced by lions’ heads or fleur de lys (Robson); which shows that these were branches of the same race. The lords Cantilupe (barons by writ 1299) were from Chanteloup, near Coutances. William de C. occurs in Normandy 1124 (Gall. Christ. xi. 160). Walter de C. in Lincoln 1130 (Rot. Pip.). In 1165 Walter, Roger, Ralph, and Simon de C. held fiefs in England (Liber Niger). Roger de C., ancestor of the Codringtons, was brother of William de C., first baron of Brecknock.
