Curly Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Teutonic) one with a Ringlet of Hair; Curlyheaded [Middle English curl(e, crull(e, curly: cp. Dutch krul, Norwegian krtill, and Ger. krolle, a curl]
(Scottish) Dweller near Curley (bend or turn in the road), in Scotland; one who came from Curley, in France; one who had curly hair.
Seated at Budbrook in Warwickshire, where Robert de Curli held an estate by grant from Geoffrey de Clinton. “Of John his son, the first mention I find is that for adhering to the King’s enemies in 6 John he had all his lands seized upon. This was (as I guess) for deserting him in Normandy, where upon ensued the totall loss of that Dutchy; for in the Record of 33 Hen. III. Budbroke is said to be de terra Normannorum; but these lands so seized did William Curly, brother to the said John, obtain from the King, for C marks fine and a palfrey. Which William became eminently employ’d in his time.”— Dugdale. His seal of arms bears a label with four points standing in the place of a Bend sinister. His son—another William—left only two daughters: Alice, the wife of Peter de Nevill; and Joan, married (52 Hen. III.) to Robert Hastang. Two Warwickshire manors—Norton Curli (alias Norton inferior) and Hampton Curli—keep the name. There was a branch in Leicestershire that continued somewhat later. The manor of Carleton, held by Hugh de Grentemesnil at the date of Domesday, afterwards became the property of the Curlys or Curlieus, and was named from them Carlton Curlewe. The last heir male, Robert de Curly, died in 1274.—Nichols. The first mentioned of the family is John de Curb, who occurs in 1199 in Palgrave’s Rotuli Curiæ Regis.
