Origin of the Name Jardine



The Jardine family history was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives.
Over the centuries Surnames developed a wide number of variants. Different spellings of the same name can be traced back to an original root. Additionally when a bearer of a name emigrated it was not uncommon that their original name would be incorrectly transcribed in the record books at their new location. Surnames were also often altered over the years based on how they sounded phonetically and depending on the prevailing political conditions it may have been advantageous to change a name from one language to another.
Variants of the name Jardine
include Jardin and Jardyne. This is a personal surname meaning 'of the garden'. This name is usually of Scottish descent and is found in many ancient manuscripts in that country. Examples of such are a Winfredus de Jardine who is recorded as having witnessed charters by 'David the First' to the Abbey of Kelso and Arbroath around the year 1153. A Patrick de Gardinus was recorded as being a Cleric to the Bishop of Glasgow in the year 1200.
Names were recorded in these ancient documents to make it easier for their overlords to collect taxes and to keep records of the population at any given time. When the overlords acquired land by either force or gifts from their rulers, they created charters of ownership for themselves and their vassals. It was by creating, maintaining and updating these reference books that they were able to maintain their authority and enforce laws.
In Ireland this name and its variants were first introduced into Ulster Province by settlers who arrived from England and Scotland , especially during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries.
The Jardine coat of arms came into existence centuries ago. The process of creating coats of arms (also often called family crests) began in the eleventh century although a form of Proto-Heraldry may have existed in some countries prior to this. The new art of Heraldry made it possible for families and even individual family members to have their very own coat of arms, including all Jardine descendants.
