The proud and noble English surname of Combs bursts forth through the withering sands of time from the ancient times when the mighty Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled all of England. Topographical in nature, this surname is derived from the Old English language word that meant "valley", and would have originally been bestowed upon a family that lived in or near a valley. Alternately, the family may have been named after an existing town, farm, or parish- in this instence, it would be a habitational-type surname. Earliest records of the surname are to be found in Devon, 1194 A.D.
