The earliest recorded use of "cockney" was in 1372. In a poem by William Langland, the word means a small, misshapen egg.
By 1521, the term's meaning had changed, and country people used "cockney" to refer to an effeminate city man.
The modern meaning of an East Ender born within the sound of the Bow Bells was coined in 1600. Samuel Rowlands referred to a "Bowe-Bell Cockney" in his satire, The Letting of Humours Blood in the Head-Vaine.
