Heath, in some dialects, is so called-also a fish; but a more probable derivation is from one of the two parishes of Ling in Somersetshire and in Norfolk.
(Teutonic.) English, long, heath; also, a species of long grass; a long, slender fish.
From Ling, name of parishes in Somersetshire and Norfolk.
The Lings derived their name several centuries ago from the parish of Lyng in this county, one of the first of the name having been a John de Ling of Norfolk; in the 13th century (H. R.). These ancient De Lyngs or De Lings were influential people; one of them was chancellor of the diocese in 1349, and another was bailiff of Norwich in 1370. Thomas Lyng was rector of Catfield in 1506; and in the 16th and 17th centuries Lyng and Ling were frequent clerical names in the county. I omitted to mention that Jeff, de Ling, who combined the accomplishments of the antiquarian and historian with his duties as a friar of the Franciscan convent in Norwich, was bom at Lyng, and died in 1390 (Bl.). The name is at present best represented in the adjoining county of Suffolk.
Ling also is essentially a Norfolk name, and further reference to it will be found under that county.
User-submitted Reference
Nous sommes certainement en présence d'un ancien nom de métier devenu nom de famille à partir du XIIe siècle. Les premiers linguet exerçaient sans doute la profession de tisserand du vieux français linge : 'fait de toile ou de lin', comme dans cet extrait d'un dictionnaire ancien: 'il faignit ung jour avoir mal a ung doy, celuy d'empres le poulce, et l'envelopa de drap linge'. Autre explication : le surnom d'un homme haché, de l'ancien français linget: délié, fin.
