Limmage Family History

Limmage Surname Meaning

From Lymage in Great Staughton (Hunts), which is recorded as Limminges and Lymmynge in the 13th century, Lemynge in 1350, Lymenge in 1354, and Lymmyng alias Lymmage in 154. The place-name may derive from a lost Celtic river-name Limen (perhaps meaning ‘elm wood’ or possibly ‘marshy river’) + the Old English group-name suffix -ingas. Some of the bearers cited here may alternatively belong to Leeming.

From Lyminge (Kent), which is recorded as Liminge in the 9th century and Limynge in 1397 (Kent Wills). The place-name means ‘district of the River Limen’ from a lost Celtic river-name Limen + Old English *gē ‘district’. There is however no evidence to connect the medieval bearers in Kent cited here with the post-medieval bearers elsewhere in England.

Nor is there any evidence for the development of -ing(e) to -age in the Kent place-name.
