Ranson

The name Ranson came to England in the great wave of migration following the Norman Conquest of 1066. The meaning of Ranson is 'riverbank'. The name is derived from the Old English word randim. The meaning of the name also suggests that the original bearer of the name lived near such a geographic feature. The surname Ranson was first found in Suffolk where the name was derived from a place named Ransham. There are many spelling variations that characterize Norman surnames because Old and Middle English lacked any definite spelling rules. The introduction of Norman French to England also had an effect on pronunciation, as did the court languages of Latin and French. Therefore, a person was often referred to by several different spellings in a single lifetime. With an estimated 4,974 people with this name, Ranson is the 7376th most popular surname in the USA. Settlers with the name Ranson in the USA in the 17th century include Robert Ranson, who settled in Virginia in 1635; Eliz Ranson, who arrived in Virginia in 1650; and Jonas Ranson, who settled in New York in 1659.
