Origin: Two Hoskins were among the Norman invaders who accompanied William the Conquerer as he overran King Harold's army late in 1066. The name Hoskins is found predominantly in the Suffolk/London section of Southeastern England. The main Virginia Hoskins clan descends from Bartholomew Hoskins who came to Virginia from England in 1614. He was a son of John Hoskins, barrister and member of Parliament who committed funds to the settlements in Virginia by 1606. Bartholomew appears to have had a brother named Bennet or Bennett Hoskins who may have emigrated to eht eastern shore of area of Virginia/Maryland some years later, but that is conjectural and lacking proof at this time. Another Hoskins family may have arisen in New England as well. The Virginia Hoskins regard Higham Castle near Cumberland, England as their ancestral home, and their coat of arms is identical to that at Higham Castle.

Origin: From several sources I find the Reding surname with one 'd' apparently comes from Luxembourg originating in the area around Meysembourg. I am however aware of Redings from Switzerland also spelled with one 'd', but I can find no connection between them and the Luxembourg line. Reddings with two 'D's' appear to have origins in England and Ireland.

Origin: There is at the College of Heraldry, in London, a 'Coat of Arms' granted to the Huntings, as is supposed, owing to its simplicity, sometime during the Eleventh Century.%0a%0aIn 'Ferguson's English Surnames' we find as follows: 'In a roll call of German Officers, given by Mameramis, in 1550 AD, are the names of Hundt, Huntus, and Hontus. Hence, Hunting being a patronymic form, is still more probably the same as Hunding.' The Hundings (Hundingus) are supposed to have been the people of Hundland, which is now a part of Denmark.%0a%0aAgain Ferguson says 'English (Hunting), German (Huntingus), Anglo-Saxon (Huntingas).%0a%0aThe first Hunting in America used but one 't' in spelling his name, but those who descended from his grandson Nathaniel use two.%0a%0aThis information is taken from 'The Hunting or Huntting Family in America' published in 1888.

Origin: The Standing Council of Scottish Chiefs agree that the name MacInnes and all of its variants are of ancient and unique origin. The celtic version is closer to Mac Aonghais. During ancient times the Mac Innes clan followed King Colla from Ireland to Dalriada and established themselves there as one of the original clans to settle that part of Scotland from Ireland. They weathered many hardships but the final straw was the Jacobite Rebellion, which split the clan and led to the Highland Clearances. As a result, the clan has been scattered across the United States and Canada, with some contingents in Australia. The various customs and immigration services of the areas where the Scotsmen settled seem to have corrupted the name many times, leaving a wide variety of variants.

Origin: Eddings originated from all info ive been able to gather...in Scotland and is a bastardization of the name Edin. The Eddings family were blood relatives of King James II of Scotland and were hunted down by the British Throne as they wanted to kill off any possible heirs to the throne...some of them escaped by coming to America. I believe the first Eddings in America to be William and Racheal Eddings who arrived near Frogmore,South Carolina in the late 1600s with a land grant given to them by the colony.

Origin: Spangenberg is a 'name of origin,' relating to the town of Spangenberg, southeast of Kassel in Central Germany. In the Middle Ages, people started leaving the small villages of their birth and moving to towns. When they arrived in the towns all they were known by was their Chirstian name - Hans, Fritz, Klaus, etc. However, there were a lot of people named Hans and Fritz and Klaus. To differentiate from one another, they took their birth town as their surname. For example, Hans von Spangenberg. The 'von' indicates 'from.' Eventually, the 'von' was dropped from the name.

Origin: Hobb was a pet form of the name Robert (where there is a mention of Hobb). The Norman invasion in 1066 brought many names to England, but the locals had trouble pronouncing the Norman version of a preceding 'R' so they used 'H' in many cases, which was easier for them to say. That why Dick became a nickname for Rick (Richard), and Hobb was substituted for Rob (Robert). Hob, Hopp, Hobbin, Hoblin, Hobling, Hoblyn are variations. Patronymic forms include Hobbes, Hobbs, Hobbiss, Hobbis, Hobson, Hopson, Hobbins. Hopkins: English Patronymic name...At the time of the conquest, the Normans brought the name Robert to England, and it had several pet forms that became the basis for surnames. Rob (which we still use), Hob, and Dob, were all pet names for Robert. Hobbs and Hobson were drawn from Hob, and Hopkins was yet another variation. Hopp is generally a variation of the English patronymic name Hobb, which was a medieval given name spelled alternately Hobbe, and Hobb, which was a pet form of the given name Robert. Hob is another variant, while diminutive forms are Hobbin, Hobling, Hoblyn , and Hobbes, Hobbs, Hobbis, and Hobbiss are patronymic variations. As a name of German origin, Hobb is likely a spelling variation of the Low German name HoppeChris Hobbs
