From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Warenne: William de Warenne, or de Garenne, fought at Hastings, and few of the Duke’s followers were as munificently dealt with. He held the great baronies of Castle Aire in Norfolk, Lewes in Sussex, and Coningsburgh in Yorkshire. The last Earl Warren had during the lifetime of his wife lived in open concubinage with Maud de Nerefort, by whom he had a son who bore his arms and was knighted, and inherited through his wife the Cheshire barony of Stockport, and their descendants remained in the county for fourteen generations. It would be unwise to assume that all Warrens are descendants of William de Warenne. Most, doubtless, derive their name from some warren, of which the ancestor was warrener.
