Distinguished for their aid to Duke William of Normandy at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D., the proud and noble Marsh family was granted lands, and held a family seat in Kent. The surname may have risen as a nickname for someone who was born in the month of March, or, as a habitational-type surname for someone who lived near a border area such as the English/Scottish borders or the Marches between England and Wales.
