The derivation of Richard is from the Olde English " ric ", power and " heard ", meaning brave, hardy. It is originally Anglo Saxon in origin, but was made very popular in England by the Normans after the Conquest of 1066. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Murdac Richardesson, Merchant, which was dated 1359, recorded in Glasgow, Scotland, during the reign of King David 11 of Scotland.

Tour Scotland Photograph Burne Jones Stained Glass Window Paisley Abbey

Tour Scotland photograph of the Burne Jones stained glass window in the Abbey in Paisley, Scotland.

Jones first appears on record as a surname in England in 1273 with the name " Matilda Jones ". Others put the first known record of the surname Jones as 1279, in Huntingdonshire, England. Around the time of the union of Wales with England, the traditional Welsh system of patronymics was increasingly replaced by surnames. Furthermore, Christian names such as John which were common in England had become increasingly preferred to distinctively Welsh Christian names such as Meredudd and Llewelyn. Thus " ab Ioan ", and many variations, meaning " son of John " became the surname Jones in a large number of cases, making it a very frequently used surname.
