English is an English surname.

The name is attested from the 12th century. From parts of Great Britain near the borders of England with Scotland and Wales, it may have been applied to people who spoke English, or to distinguish people of English ancestry from Celts, while from the interior of England it may have referred to people who were English rather than Norman French in ancestry. In other parts of Europe it may have been given to travellers from England. In Ireland the name is of Norman origin and had been brought to the country in the twelfth century.
