Lepingwell Family History

Lepingwell Surname Meaning

from Leppingwells in Little Maplestead (Essex) which is recorded as Leffingwelles in 1561 and owed its name to the possessions there of the family of Robert de Leffeldewelle (1302) who is called Leffingwell in an Elizabethan transcript of the Court Rolls.

The family Leffingwell in the 15th century and Leppingwell in the 16th took its name from a lost place recorded as Liffildeuuella in 1086 (from the Old English personal name Lēofhild + Old English wella ‘well spring stream’).

This lost place may survive in a corrupt form in Levit's Corner in Pebmarsh (Essex) into which their possessions extended.
