Gardener Family Crest
Origin of the Name Gardener
The origin of the name Gardener was found in the allfamilycrests.com archives. Gardener is an occupational name meaning 'the gardener', from a person who made their living tending the gardens of large estates. Variants include Gardiner, Gardner and Gardner. This name is of Anglo-Saxon descent spreading to the Celtic countries of Ireland , Scotland and Wales in early times and is found in many mediaeval manuscripts throughout the above islands. Examples of such are a Geoffrey le Gardiner, Oxford, a Richard le Gardiner, Cambridge, and a Ralph le Gardener, Huntingdonshire, who were all recorded in the 'Hundred Rolls', England , in the year 1273. A Thomas Garchiner was recorded in the Poll Tax of the West Riding of Yorkshire in the year 1379. A William Gardinar, County Lancashire, was recorded in the 'Testa de Neville', in the reign of Edward III.
In Ireland this name and its variants were introduced into Ulster Province by settlers who arrived from England and Scotland , especially during the seventeenth century. It was the 'Plantations of Ireland ' in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries that marked the end of Gaelic supremacy in Ireland . While the influx of settlers in the wake of the earlier Anglo-Norman invasion of the twelfth century resulted in a full integration into Irish society of the new arrivals, the same never occurred with the Ulster Planters who maintained their own distinct identity.
The Gardener 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 Gardener descendants.
