Name History
Flemish surnames are characterized by a large number of spelling variations. One reason for this is that medieval English lacked definite spelling rules. The spellings of surnames were also influenced by the official court languages, which were French and Latin. Names were rarely spelled consistently in medieval times. Scribes and church officials recorded names as they sounded, rather than adhering to specific spelling rules, and people often had their names registered in several different forms throughout their lives. One of the greatest reasons for change is the linguistic uniqueness of the Flemish settlers in England, who spoke a language closely related to Dutch. The pronunciation and spelling of Flemish names were often altered to suit the tastes of English-speaking people. In many cases, the first, final, or middle syllables of surnames were eliminated.
The name has been spelled Mellers, Mellors, Meller, Mellor, Melliar and others. First found in Dorset where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.
Coat of arms
Traditionally, English heraldry limited the use of heraldic symbols and devices to a single individual, who passed down these Coat of arms down from generation to generation. Originally each 'Family' would have their colours (for the Mellors's this was white and gold), then it became 'fashionable' to adopt a motif that was significant to the family.
