I am trying to figure out the origins of the name of my ancestor Elizabeth Cantize who was from Birchington Kent England (1500's) Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: http://www.roman-britain.org/tribes/cant... I am trying to figure out the origins of the name of my ancestor Elizabeth Cantize who was from Birchington Kent England (1500's) Yes, it is, but they were not a separate people, per se. That is, they weren't a separate people in Kent --"Canti" was the Roman designation for the people (ALL the people) who lived in what we call Kent. Cantize is actually a variant (or misspelling) of Cantis or Cant -- which simply mean "Kentish" or "of Kent." She lived in Kent and her name is "Kentish," basically. |
