Aline Spelling Variations

Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Aline family name include Ayling, Aling, Aeoeling, Adeling, Aoeling, Aedeling, Ayline, Aylyng and many more.

Migration of the Aline family

For political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, the Canadas, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Aline surname or a spelling variation of the name include: Catharine Aling, who sailed to Baltimore in 1763; Ann Ayling, who came to Philadelphia with three children in 1820; and John Ayling, who came to Philadelphia in 1876..
