Best Genealogy & History
Best is an occupational/descriptive English name also found in Holland and France. Derived from Old English "beste" from Latin "bestia" meaning beast, it could refer to a cattle herdsman or to someone powerful, perhaps brutally so. In Best family history, there was a family seat (feudal manor) in Kent. William Best (1767-1845), the first Baron Wynford, was Lord Chief Justice; fittingly the family motto "libertas in legibus" means liberty in the law. The earliest Best coat of arms is a black shield with gold crosses and cinquefoil, which signifies strength, power, honor and loyalty. In America, Best genealogy traces back to Jamestown, Virginia, in the 1620s.
