Expence Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

EXPENCE: In Clewer church "some very indifferent verses on a brass plate commemorate Martin Expence, a famous archer who shot a match against a hundred men near Bray, co. Berks." Lysons' Berks.

— Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

EXPENCE: A corruption of the names Spence or Spens. Lower says spence is a yard or enclosure; Jamieson renders spens, the place where provisions are kept, and also the clerk of a kitchen; and Lower says, in the latter sense it is employed by Wyntoun, and that Spens is an ancient surname in Scotland. But see Spencer.
