SANG Family History

Recorded in various spellings including Saing, Sang and Sange, and all rare, this is apparently an English surname, but is probably of medieval French origins. It has no obvious English meaning, and yet the surviving registers which include the earliest known recordings do not appear to offer any clue as to a foreign origin. Nevertheless the similar spelling to the French surnames Saigne and Sain, both meaning a butcher, and specifically a pork butcher, cannot be ignored, and it maybe that the name was introduced into England as early as the Norman Conquest of 1066.
