The jury Surname
jury Name Meaning and History
English: habitational name from Middle English, Old French
ju(ie)rie ‘Jewish quarter’, often denoting a non-Jew living in
the Jewish quarter of a town, rather than a Jew. Most medieval English
cities had their Jewish quarters, at least until King Edward I’s
attempted expulsion of the Jews from England in 1290. This did not
succeed in expelling the Jews, but it did give a license to
persecution and so broke up many of the old Jewish quarters.
