Photos Sisson Family Coat of Arms
The name of the martyr St Cecilia, the
patron Saint of musicians was particularly
popular with the Normans and was introduced
into England by them after the 1066 invasion.
As a result of its popularity the original name
developed into many nickname or petname spellings
of which the most usual was "Ciss". From 'Ciss or
Siss' developed patronymic spellings by adding the
Anglo-Saxon 'Son', to give variant spellings such
as Cyson, Sisson, Syson etc.
