Lewis Family Crest, Coat of Arms and Name History

Meaning, Origin, Etymology
(Anglo-French-Teut.) the A.-French form (French Louis) of the O.Frankish Hlúwíg (mod. Ger. Ludwig), which was Latinized as Ludovicus and Chlodovisus, Gallicized as Clovis (palatal s = sh) or Clouis (Louis) = Famous Battle or War [Old Saxon hlúd = O.H.Ger. hlút (Ger. laut) = Old English hlúd (English loud), loud, famous + Old Saxon wíg = O.H.Ger. Old English wíg, battle, war] Lewis has often been adopted by Jews as a British substitute for Levi, q.v., and by Welshmen as a simplified substitute for Llewellyn, q.v. (Celtic) belonging to Lewis (Scotland)=(apparently) the Marshy (Land) [Gaelic leoghas) (English) for Lewes1, q.v.

The surname of Lewis comes from the Pre 5th Century Frankish personal name of “Hludwig” which itself comes from the element “hlud” which can be translated to mean “loud” or “famous” and “wig” which can be translated to mean “battle.” Thus, the personal name of “Hludwig” can be translated to mean “loud battle” or “famous battle.” In the French, Louis; Latin, Ludovicus; Teutonic, Ludwig or Leodwig, from the Saxon Leod, the people, and wic, a castle—the safeguard of the people. Llnaws, Welsh, signifies a multitude. “Loud Battle”. From Old Frankish Hludwig and German Ludwig. See also Cloete. (Welsh, English) Descendant of Lewis (hear, fight). Another possible origin for the surname of Lewis can be found in Welsh roots. It is believed that in Wales, the surname of Lewis was derived from an Anglicized form of the surname of Llewellyn. This name comes from the Welsh word “llyw” which can be translated to mean “leader” and the word “eilyn” which can be translated to mean “likeness.” The first recorded spelling of the surname of Lewis can be found in the country of England. One person by the name of Robert Lowis was named and recorded in the Pipe Rolls of Lancashire in the year of 1202. This document was ordered, decreed, and written under the reign of one John, King of England, who was commonly known as and referred to throughout the ages as “John Lackland.” John, King of England, ruled from the year 1199 to the year 1216. Other mentions of the surname of Lewis in the country of England include William Lewys, who was recorded as being a witness in the 1267 Fines Court Rolls of the county of Suffolk. Those who bear the surname of Lewis can be found throughout the United States of America. Those who bear this surname are found in this country because of the European Migration. The European Migration was a large movement of European citizens from the countries of their birth to the United States of America. These citizens emigrated out of the countries of their birth because of their disgruntled government. The living conditions in their home countries were not ideal, as lack of sanitation led to disease, and overcrowding spread these diseases further. Lack of land, jobs, or the ability to practice whatever religion they wanted also led to the dissatisfaction of European citizens. During the 1600’s many of these European citizens moved to the United States of America, which at that time, was known as The New World, and The Colonies. The first of these migrating peoples to bear the surname of Lewis was one person by the name of Roger Lewis, who landed in the state of Virginia in the year of 1623. In the year 1634, Edmond Lewis and John Lewis arrived in New England. Throughout the country, there is a large population of people who bear the surname of Lewis. The areas with the larger concentration of those who carry the surname of Lewis are the states of California, Texas, and Georgia, as well as New York, Ohio, and the state of Pennsylvania. In the 19th Century, it became common to explore new areas, such as New Zealand and Australia. One William Lewis, who was a convict from Shropshire, England, sailed aboard the ship named the Ann, in the year 1809, and settled in New South Wales, making him the first person in Australia to bear the surname of Lewis. Francis Charles Lewis arrived in Auckland, New Zealand in the year of 1840, which made him the first person who did carry the surname of Lewis into this new, undiscovered country.

Another origin of the name Lewis results from the eastern European pogroms of the last century. During this time many Jews crossed over to England and on arrival decided to anglicise their names. A number of refugees with the name Levinsky changed it to Lewin, Levin or Lewis. Owing to its popularity in Britain and France-two of Europe’s major colonising nations-the name Lewis (or Louis) has spread around the globe.

Over the centuries it has been particularly popular in the United States. Here we find it in St Louis, in Louisville, and even in the State of Louisiana (which, under French colonial rule-before the famous Louisiana Purchase in 1803-stretched from the coast of the Gulf of Mexico up into the Mid-West, to within a few hundred miles of the Great Lakes).

The American explorer Meriwether Lewis (1774—1809) led the great overland journey to the Pacific coast, thus opening up the north-west to a flood of settlers. Despite encounters with grizzly bears, Indians, rattlesnakes and near-starvation Lewis’s only brush with death came when a hunting companion mistook him for an elk and shot him in the leg. As a reward for his explorations he was appointed the first governor of Louisiana but died soon after in mysterious circumstances.

Many Lewis’s have achieved fame as writers. The first American to win the Nobel Prize was Sinclair Lewis, whose best-seller Main Street swept him to fame. C. Day Lewis (1904—72) was one of the ‘Thirties Poets’ of Auden’s generation. He later became Poet Laureate. The controversial writer-artist Percy Wyndham Lewis founded the English modernist movement called Vorticism, which created a furore prior to World War I. The prolific scholar-writer C.S. Lewis is best remembered for his Screwtape Letters.  Lewis’s have produced several jazz greats. George Lewis was a veteran of the Old New Orleans style and John Lewis, the composer-pianist, recorded with Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie.

The first machine-gun was invented by the American Isaac Newton Lewis (1858—1931).  The American military brass proved uninterested in his new invention so he took it to Europe in 1913
where the Lewis Gun played a vital part in the last stages of World War I. Over 100,000 were manufactured for the Allied armies by the Birmingham Small Arms Company.

LEWISES, MERIWETHERS AND THEIR KIN – COMPILED FROM FAMILY PAPERS AND FROM RELIABLE SOURCES BY SARAH TRAVERS LEWIS (SCOTT) ANDERSON
The Lewis Families in Virginia ~ We have knowledge of six Lewis families of different descents and time of emigration to Virginia. These different dates of arrival in Virginia preclude all thought of “the three brothers.” And so far as is known, the earlier generation of these lines of Lewises did not claim to be kin, though in old deeds they sometimes referred to each other as executors in a ceremonious way. 1) Robert Lewis of Brecon, emigrated 1635 2) John Lewis of Hanover, emigrated 1640 3) John Lewis of Henrico, emigrated 1660 4) Zachary Lewis, emigrated 1694 5) John Lewis of Donegal, emigrated 1732 6) John Lewis of Shenandoah, Va, emigrated 1737 whose 3rd child was born in Shenandoah, Va. From General Robert Lewis of Brecon, Wales, descend the “Meriwether Lewises” with many other lines of the “Warner Hall Lewises.” John Lewis of Hanover, emigrated from Wales, 1640, died in Virginia 1726, will probated in Hanover – fifth child, David Lewis lived near or at “Birdwood”, near Charlottesville; his descendants, the Piedmont Maurys, Barkesdales and Frys still live near their old home. These Lewises scattered widely and bore a wonderful Revolutionary record. This David Lewis died in Albemarle in 1779. His descendant, Maj. Micajah Lewis, commanded a company at Kings Mountain in which were twenty-three Lewises-all descended from this same David. This family was noted for longevity. John Lewis of Henrico County appears 1660. From him descended – Major John Lewis of Goochland, who married Mildred, daughter of Robert Lewis and Jane Meriwether. This family intermarried with the “RoBards”, Cocks, Moseleys, etc. Zachary Lewis I, born 1650, name of wife unknown, took up lands in Virginia on Dragon Swamp in what is now King William or King and Queen County. Two sons are definitely known, John, and Zachary II. Descendants of these are many and widely scattered. They intermarried largely with the Belvoir Lewises. Note: “Planter John Lewis” of Albemarle near Scottsville seems a separate line, supposed to be descended from, or related to Zachary Lewis. The will of this John Lewis is in Albemarle records, written July 1786. This family intermarried with Gilmers, Gnautts and Pattersons. John Lewis of Donegal settle at Stauton, Augusta County, 1732. His family, wonderful for Revolutionary record and for patriotism, is too generally known to require explanation; like the other Lewises, this family is widely scattered, has intermarried with other Lewises, and with other distinguished families. John Lewis himself was the founder of the Augusta County, Va. Among his sons, Col. Charles Lewis was killed at the battle of Point Pleasant. Gen. Andrew Lewis who won that battle, and was later distinguished in the Revolution, lived in what is now Botetourt County. John Lewis’ other sons had useful records and military service. John Lewis of Shenandoah County, Va., born in Wales m. Margaret. They had nine children 1) Reese Lewis b. 1730 2) Susannah Lewis b. 1735 3) Amos Lewis b. 1737, m. Mollie Chrisman 4) Thomas Lewis b. 1739. 5) Annie Lewis b. 1742 6) George Lewis b. 1744 7) Hannah Lewis b. 1746 d. 1748 8) Evan Lewis b. 1749 9) Mordecai Lewis b. 1751 m. Mary Segler. This Mordecai after the Revolution emigrated to Tennessee from Shenandoah carrying with him the old Welsh Bible brought from Wales. It is now in the possession of his descendants in Marion County, Tennessee. He left eight children.
