Aldwinckle Family History

Aldwinckle Surname Meaning

from Aldwincle (Northants) whose name may be from the Old English personal name Ealda Alda deriving from eald ald ‘old’ + wincel ‘bend’ referring to the prominent bend in the river Nene at Aldwincle.

A case might be made that it is ‘the old bend’ in view of the complex and changing pattern of the watercourses at this place which is suggested by the line of the southern parish boundary.
