England Early Origins of the Ribble familyThe surname Ribble was first found in Norfolk where Ralph filius Ribaldi was listed in the Pipe Rolls of 1159. A few years later, Folco Ribald was listed in the Pipe Rolls for Lincolnshire in 1165 and later again, William Ribald was found in the Feet of Fines for Norfolk in 1198. Ribbel was listed in the Domesday Book Ribel (in Ribel-castre, Ribchester) 1 In the next century, Richard Ribald was found in Somerset in 1230 and in the following century, John Ribald was registered in the Assize Rolls for Lincolnshire in 1373. 2 One source notes that name could literally mean "dweller by the River Ribble. We do not know what the Celtic name of the Ribble was. The earliest recorded uncompounded form of the name is the Domesday Ripa ('Inter Ripam et Mersham') which is apparently intended for the Latin ripa, a river-bank. 'Ribble' may, in fact, represent Latin rivell-us, a diminutive f: riv-us, a stream, brook" 3 Again in Norfolk, other early entries include: Ribald de Middleham, Norfolk, temp. 1200 in the Feet of Fines and Ribaldus (without surname), Norfolk in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1273. 4 Early History of the Ribble familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Ribble research.
