Noyes Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(Anglo-French-Latin) Dweller by a Nut-Tree; spec., a Walnut-Tree [French noix (Old French nois), a walnut, nut; Latin nux, nucis, a nut (-tree]
“Noah” in Old English.
(English) Dweller at, or near, a walnut tree.
The family of Noyes of Wiltshire and Sussex have, time out of mind, borne the same arms as that of Noye of Cornwall, to which the celebrated attorney-general of Charles I. belonged. There is a tradition that three brothers of the name came over from Normandy about the time of the Conquest, and settled in the counties of Wilts, Hants, and Cornwall. The name is supposed to be derived from Noye or Noyon in Normandy, anciently called Noyon-sur-Andelle, but now Charleval, in the canton of Grainville; but there are several localities in that province called Noyers, which may have an equal claim. The various spellings of the name are Noye, De Noye, De la Noye, Noise, Noys, Noyse. Inf. T. Herbert Noyes, Esq., junr.
Noy is an abbreviation for Noah. "In England, in the seventeenth century, Attorney—General Noy was succeeded by Sir John Banks, and Chief—justice Heath being found guilty of bribery, Sir John Finch obtained the office; hence it was said:
"Noy's flood is gone,
The Banks appear,
Heath is shorn down,
And Finch sings here."—Lower.
In the Cornish British, Noi is a nephew, and Noys night.
Richard Nois 1180-95. Osbert and William de Nois, Normandy 1198 (Magni Rotuli Scaccarii Normanniae).
Newers: are derived from Noyers in Eure.
