This name is of early medieval English origin, and a locational surname deriving from any of the various places named Newby in the North of England, for instance in Cumberland, North Riding Knights of Yorkshire.
Newby in Cumberland is recorded as "Neubi" in the Register of the Priory of Wetherhal (circa 1165); the place in Westmorland is registered in the Early Yorkshire Charters as "Neuby" (circa 1160); and in the North Riding Knights of Yorkshire as "Newby" in the Percy Chartulary of circa 1200.
They all derive from the Middle English elements "newe" meaning new and "by" a farm; hence "living at a new farm" and became lords of that county. It is also a topographical name for someone residing at the New Farm. The surname is first recorded in the latter half of the 13th Century.
Recordings from London Church Registers include: the christening of Elizabeth, daughter of Roger Newby, on November 7th 1574, at St. Giles, Cripplegate; the marriage of Elizabeth Newby and Jeffrey Segwick on July 17th 1575, at St. Mary Magdelene, Old Fish Street; and the christening of Anne, daughter of Robert Newby, on August 25th 1577, at St. Giles, Cripplegate.
A Coat of Arms granted to John de Newby in the time of Richard 11 (1377 - 1399) depicts a red fess between three red roses on a white (argent) shield.
