ORIGIN OF THE DACRE/ACRE(s)/ACREE/ SURNAME
(and additional family names sourced by C. ACREE, Barbara Lee Rowe, Royce Culpepper,
Warren Culpepper, R.B. Stewart)
ASSOCIATION WITH THE HOLY LAND
Beyond that derivation, there has been historic use of the name that is not merely legendary. It has
been asserted that it was sometimes adopted by pilgrims and soldiers who ventured to the ancient
Palestinian town of Acre (now in Israel, with an etymology that has included Akka, Akko and Accho),
which experienced a brutal history during the Crusades of the 12th and 13th centuries. Returning from
their pilgrimages or battles, travelers took appellations that proudly affirmed their return "from Acre" using the designations "d'Acre" or "de Acre" because English nobility favored the French language at the
time and because the full name of the town was then Saint-Jean d'Acre.
In support of this assertion, the historic Dacre coat of arms, known to heraldry, depicted, on a red
background, three silver scallop shells, indicating pilgrimage to the Holy Land:
THE ACRE CASTLE IN NORFOLK
Early use of the name occurred when a Norman known as William de Warenne accompanied William
the Conqueror to England in 1066 to fight in the Battle of Hastings. As one of William's most powerful
and trusted knights, he became the king's son-in-law and was awarded several properties in England.
One of his early achievements was to build the historic Acre Castle, a double-moated structure with
extensive earthworks situated in northwest Norfolk, a few miles east of King's Lynn near The Wash
estuary. The reason for the name was that the previous Saxon owner of the property had, for whatever
reason, called the area Acre. Warenne's young wife died there in childbirth in 1085, and the castle was
included in the Domesday Survey the following year. In its heyday, it received many visits from royalty.
Today, its ruins are a tourist attraction. Warenne and his descendants did not take the surname Acre,
but commoners living in the vicinity may have later adopted it, in view of the fact that many Acre
families (using various spellings) were resident there in the 17th century, when emigration to America
began.
ADDED NOTE BY BARBARA LEE ROWE: There is mention by some family members the William had
used the name temporarily of William d’ acre after he was granted land in Cumbria.
THE DACRE BARONIES
The historic Dacre peerage employed the above coat of arms but is reputed to have derived its
hereditary surname differently. During the late 12th and early 13th centuries, an ambitious family of
obscure origin established itself as a barony in northern England at Gilsland, near Hadrian's Wall on the
Scottish frontier, in what is now the county of Cumbria. This "borderer" family took the surname Dacre
from the name of a local village and stream, where a monastery once stood, according to the Venerable
Bede, who mentioned Dacre in his 731 Eccleastical History, when describing a miracle that had occurred
there. On that same site, in 926, Scottish kings surrendered vast lands in the area to the king of Sussex,
who brought the whole of England under his rule.
Castle Pele
Early members of the family called themselves "de Dacre," as did its first baron, Ranulf de Dacre (12901339), which was not redundant but meant "of the Dacre area." The prefix "de" was later dropped. Two
castles built in Cumbria in the 14th century by the Dacre barons, called Naworth and the Dacre pele, not
only still stand but have been continuously occupied. The barony's role was to support successive
English kings by keeping Scottish marauders at bay. Not long before the War of the Roses in the 15th
century, the Dacre barony split. An inheriting daughter married into the prominent Fiennes family, who
thereupon took the title "Dacres of the south." Both branches - north and south - supported neighboring
Lancaster during the war itself, but managed to switch their allegiances advantageously upon York's
victory. The northern barony went into abeyance in the 16th century, while the southern barony, once
centered at the Fiennes' grand Herstmonceux castle in Sussex, survives to this day…
It is known that the Dacre barons acquired lands and positions in Lancashire in the early 14th century,
where the Ackers family, in particular, has since flourished. In 1576, Captain George Acres of Liverpool
(then in southwest Lancashire) was granted arms that included, in first quarter, the distinctive Dacre
arms shown above - confirming a relationship between the Dacre surname and its variously-spelled
derivatives.
