The earliest recorded mention of the surname is in the Domesday Book, which was compiled in 1086, where a family named de Flamanc owned land in Cumberland. Over time, the name evolved into Le Fleming as the Norman family assimilated into English society.
The Le Fleming family became prominent landowners in various counties, including Cumberland, Westmorland, and Yorkshire. They held estates and manors and were involved in local governance. The family also gained recognition through military service, with many members serving in various conflicts throughout English history.
