Monson Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
1 = Manson, q.v.
2 for Monk’s Son.
(Swedish, Danish) The son of Mon, a pet form of Magnus (great).
It has been stated that Monson means the son of Mon or Mun, the nickname of Edmund, but this is not probable. Lord Monson's pedigree is traced to Lincolnshire, and the year 1378. Leland spells the name Mounson, which has a French or Norman aspect.
Derived, according to antiquarians, from the German word Muntz, but probably the son of Mon or Mun, a nickname for Edmund.
For Monceaux, descended from the ancient lords of Maers and Monceaux, Counts of Nevers. Landric IV. became Count of Nevers c. 990, by marriage, and had a younger son Landric of Nevers, baron of Monceaux, grandfather of William de M., who is mentioned by Wace 1066. He appears as William de Moncellis in the Exeter Domesday, and as William de Nevers in Norfolk 1086. His descendants occur in Sussex, but chiefly in Yorkshire and Lincoln. Thomas de Monceaux d. 1345, seized amongst others of the manors of Killingholm, Keleby, &c., Lincoln (Inq. p. Mort.). His son, Sir John de Monceaux (or Monson), d. 1363, seized of Burton and Keleby, Lincoln, which continued in this family t. Elizabeth. John Monceaux or Monson was of Lincoln 1378; sixth in descent from whom was Sir John Monson, who was possessed of Burton and Keleby at his death 1593. From him descended the Lords Monson, Viscounts Castlemaine, and Lords Sondes. (See Anselme, iii. 105; Rot. Pip. 31 Henry I.; Mon. i. 410,922, 923, ii. 152,911; Hardy, Lit. Claus. 376; Testa; Burton, Mon. Ebor. 245.).
