Last names linked to ANNES

Origin

Ann : English:: 1: habitational name from Abbots Ann in Hampshire named for the stream that runs through it which is most probably named with an ancient Celtic word meaning ‘water’.2: possibly from the Middle English female personal name Ann(e) which is normally a pet form of Agnes (Middle English Annes) since the Biblical homonym was not common before the 15th century.

Annis : English (of Norman origin): from the Middle English female personal name Annes Old French Anes from Late Latin Agnes.

Dayman : 1: from the Middle English personal name Dayman. It may be from an Old English *Dægmann perhaps a pet form of names in Dæg- ‘day’ or else a transferred use of the word in (ii) similar in usage to Old English Flotmann ‘sailor’ and Glīwmann ‘minstrel’. Alternatively it may be a pet form of the Middle English personal name Day to which the hypocoristic suffix -man has been added. Day is sometimes a short form of David but is also a 14th-century variant of Daw a rhyming pet form of Ralph; compare Gilbertus Dawman 1379 in Poll Tax (Sedgeford Norfolk) and Willelmus Dawman' 1379 in Poll Tax (Humberton WR Yorks). See Day and Daw and for the suffix see Bateman Hickman Human Pateman Potman. Some of the following early bearers may alternatively belong under (2).perhaps for dairyman from Middle English daie ‘man in charge of dairy cattle’ + man ‘servant worker’. The addition of -man seems unnecessary if it synonymous with daie but the definite article in the 1332 example indicates that in this case at least a Middle English noun is the source rather than a personal name.‘servant of a man named Day’. 2: see Diamond. For some possible early bearers see also (1). 3: from Middle English Dame An(n)e ‘Lady Anne’ probably a pet form of Annes (Agnes). Compare Johanne Dameanneys 1381 in Poll Tax (Lechlade Gloucs). The bearer of the surname may have been a son or servant of Lady Anne. Whether this became a hereditary surname is unknown.
