Engledew Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Ingledew', one of the many compounds of Ingle, which see. It is found half latinized in the Hundred Rolls in the entry:

Henry Angel-Dei, Lincolnshire, 1273. Hundred Rolls.

John Angel-Dei, Lincolnshire, ibid.

This I take to be but a play upon the word, as is common in such Latin entries. Otherwise it would be equivalent to the German Gottschalk, i.e. God's servant. As a surname it has made a safe and secure position for itself in English directories.

1588. John Ingledewe and Elinor Stanney: Marriage Lic. (London).

1693. John Ingledew (Yorkshire) and Elizabeth Smalbone: Marriage Lic. (Faculty Office).

A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

(English) descendants of the Anglo-Saxon pers. name Angelðeów] [for the first element v. under Engall; the second is Old English ðeów, a servant, slave] Angelðeów is recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, under A.D. 626, as the name of an ancestor of the Mercian kings.

Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison

The name of Angeltheow occurs in the genealogies of the Anglo-Saxon kings, as fourth in descent from Woden, See Sax, Chron, A.D. 626 and 755. "A Wodeno originem ducebat Angeltheawus." But I have not met with it elsewhere in Anglo-Saxon history. It is probable however that Ingledew, Engledue, and Engledow, as family names, are modem forms of it.
