Montgomery (name)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Montgomery (also spelled Montgomerie) is a toponymic surname derived from Saint-Germain-de-Montgommery and Sainte-Foy-de-Montgommery in Normandy, France.[1][2]

The earliest known person to be styled with the name is Roger de Montgomerie, found in a contemporary document as father of the 11th century Norman nobleman,

Roger de Montgomery, 1st Earl of Shrewsbury, who owned the village of Montgommery, today in the Calvados
département. Alternatively, a Hugh de Montgomery is given as the earl's father by a Norman chronicler writing in the next generation and some have hypothesized an error whereby Hugh is actually father of the elder Roger.
