Surnames

It comes from the ancient Anglo-Saxon given name "Nicholas". A shortened version, or nickname, of Nicholas is "Colin". The proud and noble English surname Collins appears in the very ancient records of Shropshire, where they'd held a family seat prior to the Norman Conquest of 1066 A.D. They were Lords of the Manor with large estates there, as well in Herefordshire.

Several places in northern France have borne this name since before the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D. It first appears in Britain in Lincolnshire and Yorkshire after the Norman Conquest.

Carrying the formidable meaning of "immortal", "Ambrose" derives from the Latin language.

The surname, Soberano, is originally from Spain. At the time of the Inquisition

when Jews were forced to leave Spain, many of them changed their Jewish-

sounding surnames to loose interpretations that would coincide with Spanish-

sounding names in order to protect themselves from being forced to convert to Catholicism.

"Soberano" means a king, duke or head of state and was originally thought to

have been a name of Hebrew derivative, "Ben Melech", or son of the king. It

obviously refers to those of high social standing and/or royalty.

Another example of this type of surname is "Toledano" meaning a Spanish

Jew from the city of Toledo. Other surnames of this type denote occupations

or family relations as well as places of origin.

There apparently existed only one large family of Soberanos who after the

decrees of the Inquisition forcing the Jews out of Spain travelled to and settled

in Morocco. Therefore, all the Soberanos are from various towns and cities in

Morocco, except for a large population of Filipinos (the Philippines were at one

time ruled by Spain). Thus, today, all people with the surname of Soberano

are either of Spanish or Filipino background.

Despite the initial reference to Roisel, France (the family's home prior to the Norman Invasion of 1066 A.D.), the proud and noble English surname of Royal survives with no small amount of alacrity amidst the erosional sands of time and mistful memories of the early residents of Kent, where they were granted lands and held a family seat from very early times.

There are many spelling variations of this surname, and some of the family is known to have made significant contributions to the various places that they subsequently emigrated to, such as Ireland, Australia, and North America. One good family history, written by Violet Coe Munford, is titled "The Royal Way West". There must be more, perhaps in listings of British peerages.

Recorded in over one hundred spelling forms from Phillipus, Philip, Phipps, Phelps, and apparently Pherps, and found throughout Christendom, this is a surname of Greek origins. However spelt it derives from the personal name of Ancient Greek origins "Philippos", a compound of the words "philein" meaning to love and "hippos", a horse; and hence "lover of horses". Philip of Macedon, the father of Alexander the Great, was the first famous bearer of the name, and its popularity throughout Greece and Asia Minor was largely due to him. The name was borne by five kings of France, including Philip 1st, who reigned from 1060 to 1108. It entered England via France in the 12th Century and appears as "Filippus" in the "Documents relating to the Danelaw", for Lincolnshire in the year 1142. Henry Phelipe was noted in the Hundred Rolls of Norfolk in 1273 and the patronymic form of the name also appears at this time, with the final "-s" being a reduced form of "son of". John Phippes is registered in the Calendar of Plea and Memoranda Rolls in 1364, and the Phipps family, the marquesses of Normandy and earls of Mulgrave, are descended from Constantine Phipps (1656 - 1723), Lord Chancellor of Ireland. A slightly more humble cousin Sir William Phipps (1651 - 1695), was born in Maine, America, where his parents had emigrated. He was originally a ship's carpenter, but was knighted by Charles 11, and rose to become Governor of Massachusetts. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Alicia Philippes, which was dated 1273, in the "Hundred Rolls of Huntingdonshire"
