Last Name FOULISSummary/Contribute |
| Meaning |
The name is derived from an ancestor of the family, a Norman, bearing three leaves, called feuilles, in his arms.
The surname of Foulis is of Norman extraction. Their first British ancestor came into England either at or before the Conquest, and his armorial bearings were three leaves, called "Feuilles" in the old Norman; it is certain that the name was either given to the family while residents of South Britain, or else assumed by him who first settled in Scotland in the reign of Malcom Canmore, when surnames were then first adopted. | |
