About us
This project was created about December 2004 by Jim Denning.
No coat of arms for all whose name is "Denning" has been identified from a valid source. In English heraldry, coats of arms are regulated and granted to individuals. For example, there is a Shield of arms of The Lord Denning.

Ænglisċ origin
While Normans were not the first to use last names, they did introduce the modern usage of such in England in 1086 – this then represents a reasonable timeframe for Western European lineages to associate Y-DNA haplogroups with their last names.Derived from Dene’s Son (or Dane; -ing being son in Ænglisċ in-use until about 1200). Gives Surnames of the United Kingdom (1912) by Henry Harrison and Dictionary of American Family Names (1956) by Elsdon Coles Smith as source. Several sources also give that the name derives from a personal name of Dynna.
