Origin: English
The name Standeven came to England with the ancestors of the Standeven family in the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Standeven family lived in Gloucestershire, at Standish.
Spelling variations of this family name include: Standish, Standishe, Standich, Standidge and others.
First found in Gloucestershire where they were seated from very early times and were granted lands by Duke William of Normandy, their liege lord, for their distinguished assistance at the Battle of Hastings in 1066 A.D.
Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: Dorothy Standich who settled in Virginia in 1635; Sarah Standidge settled in New England in 1753; James Standish settled in Virginia in 1623; George Standish with his wife Dorothy settled in Virginia in 1643. and Captain Miles Standish sailed on the “Mayflower” in 1620.
Then I wrote this post.

Right then….
Firstly, the 1066 conquest was fought by them French geezers, and that the Normans were actually Norsmen (them of Scandinavian rubbish), who “put it up” French girlies later on (the word Norman is an extension of the word Norsman following the knee jerks down darkened alleys). So…if your lot paddled the channel with William of Normandy…I would say….you are French.
FRENCH!!!!!
Thank you and good niggit.
