Lines
This usual name is one of the metronymic forms of the name "Line", or "Lina", a medieval female given name which was short form of such women's names as "Cateline", "Adeline", and "Emmeline", containing the Anglo-Norman surnames, derived from the name of the first bearer's mother, are far less common than "patronymics", since western society has generally been patriarchal throughout recorded history. The modern surname can be found as "Lines", "Lynes" and "Lynas". The surname development has included "Linous", (1572, Yorkshire), "Lynis", (1644, ibid.) and "Lynus", (1663, ibid.). Arthur Lynas married Agnes Telzerson on October 3rd 1557 at Stainton in Cleveland, Yorkshire.The Coat of Arms most associated with the family of Tooley Park, county Leicester has the blazon of a silver shield, on a blue bend between two lion's rampant, a fleur-de-lis between two griffin's heads erased ore. The crest being in front of a fleur-de-lis a lion rampant and the motto; Foi, Roi, Droit translating as Faith, king, right. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Reginald Lynes, which was dated 1340, in the Cambridgeshire Assize Rolls, during the reign of King Edward 111, known as "The Father of the Navy", 1327 - 1377. Surnames became necessary when governments introduced personal taxation. In England this was known as Poll Tax. Throughout the centuries, surnames in every country have continued to "develop" often leading to astonishing variants of the original spelling.
