Atkinson SURNAMES as we know them today were first assumed in Europe from the 11th to the 15th Century. They were not in use in England or in Scotland before the Norman Conquest, and were first found in the Domesday Book. The employment in the use of a second name was a custom that was first introduced from the Normans. They themselves had not long before adopted them. It became, in course of time, a mark of gentler blood, and it was deemed a disgrace for gentlemen to have but one single name, as the meaner sort had. It was not until the reign of Edward II (1307-1327) it became general practice amongst all people. At first the coat of arms was a practical matter which served a function on the battlefield and in tournaments. With his helmet covering his face, and armour encasing the knight from head to foot, the only means of identification for his followers, was the insignia painted on his shield and embroidered on his surcoat, the flowing and draped garment worn over the armour. ATKINSON was a baptismal name 'the son of Adam' a familiar name to medieval documents. Early records of the name mention Geoffrey Adekyn, 1273 County Norfolk. Willemus Adkynson of Yorkshire was listed in the Yorkshire Poll Tax of 1379. Elizabeth Smith married John Adkinson, St. James's. Clerkenwell, London in 1709. George Handaye and Mary Atkinson were married at St. Michael, Cornhill, London in 1718. The name has many variants which include Adkin, Adkins, Adkinson, Atkins and Adkisson. Surnames before the Norman Conquest of 1066 were rare in England having been brought by the Normans when William the Conqueror invaded the shores. The practice spread to Scotland and Ireland by the 12th century, and in Wales they appeared as late as the 16th century. Most surnames can be traced to one of four sources, locational, from the occupation of the original bearer, nicknames or simply font names based on the first name of the parent being given as the second name to their child. An eminent member of the name was Thomas Wittlam Atkinson (1799-1861) the English architect and travel writer, born in Cawthorne, Yorkshire. He became successively a quarryman, a stonemason and architect, then between 1848 and 1853 travelled some 40,000 miles in Asiatic Russia with his wife Lucy, painting and keeping journals which formed the basis of several works on that part of the world.
