Pattimore Coat of Arms / Pattimore Family CrestThe surname of PATTIMORE, and its variants Pattemore and Patmore, were of the locational group of surnames, meaning 'one who came from Patmore' a hamlet in the parish of Albury in County Hertfordshire. This is from where the original bearer would have derived his name. Habitation names are derived from names denoting towns, villages, farmsteads or other named places, which include rivers, houses with signs on them, regions, or whole counties. The original bearer of the name who stayed in his area might be known by the name of his farm, or the locality in the parish; someone who moved to another town might be known by the name of his village; while someone who moved to another county could acquire the name of that county or the region from which he originated. The earliest of the name that appears in record mentions a Walter de Patermore, who was documented in the year 1208 in Hertfordshire, and Richard de Pamore was recorded in 1332, County Surrey. Edward Patimore appears in County Surrey in the year 1379. Most of the European surnames in countries such as England, Scotland and France were formed in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries. The process had started somewhat earlier and had continued in some places into the 19th century, but the norm is that in the tenth and eleventh centuries people did not have surnames, whereas by the fifteenth century most of the population had acquired a second name. It has long been a matter of doubt when the bearing of coats of arms first became hereditary and it was not until the Crusades that Heraldry came into general use. Men went into battle heavily armed and were difficult to recognise. It became the custom for them to adorn their helmets with distinctive crests, and to paint their shields with animals and the like. Coats of arms accompanied the development of surnames, becoming hereditary in the same way. Later instances of the name mention one Edward Patemore and Hannah Isaac who were married at St. George's, Hanover Square, London in the year 1802. The associated coat of arms is recorded in Sir Bernard Burkes General Armory. Ulster King of Arms in 1884. (Patmore). |
