The history of this ancient
Derbyshire family traces its ancestry as a family of Norman origin before the
year 1100 and appears first in the ancient records in Derbyshire This a
habitation name from a place in Derbyshire, which Ekwall suggests is from Olde
English rantstigtun, 'enclosure (tun) by the steep (brant) path (stig)', or
Brandsigingtun 'settlement associated with *Brandsige'is more likely. Brandsige,
composed of the elements brand (Sword) + sige (Victory), is not attested as an
Olde English personal name, but seems plausible.
