It comes from when a family lived in the village greene which was the center or main square of each region. It is derived from the Old English " grene, " meaning " green, " and was most likely first borne by a family who lived in the village greene, the center or main square of a region. Alternatively, it may have been bestowed as a nickname on someone who was particularly fond of dressing in green. The surname Green was first found in Kent, England, where the earliest record of the name was Geoffrey Greene who was recorded in a Poll Tax in 1188.
