Ayling Family History
Ayling Name Meaning
English: from the Middle English personal name Ayling (Old English Ætheling a derivative of æthel ‘noble’). This word was commonly used as a byname among Anglo-Saxons before and after the Norman Conquest and was in use for a time as a personal name. The surname derives from this use rather than from a nickname; still less does it denote descent from Anglo-Saxon nobility.
