Parrish Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of the parish,' from residence within its limits. 'Parysche, parochia': Promptorium Parvulorum No doubt at times confounded with Paris, which see.
Willelmus de Parysch, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Thomas de Parysch, 1379: ibid.
Marjoria Parysch, Yorkshire, 1455.: Corpus Christi Guild (Surtees Society).
1787. Married — Samuel Parrish and Elizabeth Farrant: St. George, Hanover Square.
For Parish, q.v.
(English) One who resided within the limits of the parish, a territorial division originally in the care of a single priest; one who had something to do with the organization or government of the parish.
This rather singular name may be thus accounted for. In many parts of the South of England, in country places, the word parish is used, not so much with reference to the parochial district, as to the village immediately adjacent to the church. Hence, at the period when plebeian surnames began, two Johns or two Roberts, residing in the same ecclesiastical parochia, might be called respectively, John or Robert at Field, at Moor, at Hill, or what not-or John or Robert "at the Parish.'' The family of this name formerly settled in Lincolnshire, consider it to be a modification of Paris, the French metropolis.
