Best Answer

The proud and noble English surname of Rawlings derives from the Norman masculine given name Ralph, which carries the meaning(s) of "courageous, fearless advisor, wolf counsel, wise counsel". The Rawlings family is recorded to have held a family seat in Herefordshire from very early times. They were granted lands there, in recognition of their distinguished actions at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
