The ancient Anglo-Saxons who once ruled all of Britain would have bestowed this surname upon persons living in the village greene, which was the main square or the center of a region. However, it may have also been bestowed upon persons who were often found to be attired in green clothing.
First found in Kent, a certain Geoffrey Greene was polled for taxes in 1188 A.D.
