Sis Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from the name of an ancestor. 'the son of Cecilia,' from the nick. Ciss, Cess, and Siss. This form lasted till the 17th century, and still exists as Sissy in the nursery. Such rhymes as the following will be commonly met with in D'Urfey:
'Long have I lived a bachelor's life, And had no mind to marry; But now I would fain have a wife, Edith, Doll, Kate, Sis, or Mary.'
'Cesse the souteresse' (v. Sisson for quotation). Almost all the instances of names founded on Siss given below come from Yorkshire and its border. A great impetus was given to it there on account of Cicely Neville, the Rose of Raby, 'proud Ciss,' 'the Duchess of York' (v. Yonge). The Conqueror's daughter, Cecily, Abbess of Caen, gave it favour still earlier to the country at large.
