Francis Singletary of Surfleet in Lincolnshire, England, is the earliest person of that name so far found in any record. Strangely, there are no deeds, wills or parish records of the name. The meaning of the name is a mystery. Most English surnames evolved and became hereditary by the late 1400s. Singletary may be an exception.
