Cox-Surname
The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Aluuinus Coc, which was dated 1086, in the Domesday Book of Cambridgeshire, during the reign of King William 1, known as "The Conqueror", 1066 - 1086.
COX may have originated as a nickname from the bird, the cock, deriving from the Olde English pre 7th Century "cocc", and applied to a young lad who strutted proudly like a cock. The nickname may also have referred to a natural leader, or an early riser, or a lusty or aggressive individual. It may also have derived from the Olde English personal names "Cocc" or "Cocca", found in placenames, although not on independent record. But as "cock" became a common term for a boy, it may also have been used affectionately as a personal name. The third possibility is that it may be of topographical origin for a "dweller by the hill", deriving from the Olde English "cocc" meaning haycock, heap or hillock.
England. An early Cockes line began with Walter de Chelworth in Kent in the 13th century. He was said to have been a strutting Norman soldier in England who was nicknamed '"le coq" and his children "little cockes."
However, Cox-like surnames initially were more to be found further west in England:
Kockes and variants of that name had appeared in the records of Bridgewater, Somerset in the mid-15th century.
While the Cox name above may appear a west country name, large numbers by the 19th century were in fact in and around London.
Cox and the Monmouth Rebels
There were 20 Coxes who took part in the West Country Monmouth uprising of 1685 and were later rounded up. The largest numbers came from Taunton St. Mary, Axmouth and Musbury.
These Coxes fared better perhaps than some others. Only two of the twenty were hanged and only two were transported to the Caribbean. William Cox, a sergemaker at Taunton St. Mary, escaped to Holland where he helped to manufacture English cloth. He was pardoned in 1686 “if he should return with his goods and effects within two calendar months."
Tom Cox, Highwayman
Born in Somerset sometime around 1666, Tom Cox was the younger son of a west country gentleman who grew up into a startlingly handsome youth with a penchant for women and gambling, passions which soon swallowed up his meager inheritance. Egged on by the shady characters with whom he spent his time, it was not long before he was persuaded to look to the highways to supplement his losses by relieving those more endowed of their guineas.
Tom was just 25 years old when he met his Maker in 1691 on the gallows near Newgate in London. He had been caught robbing a farmer on Hounslow Heath. The crowd which gathered to witness his execution cheered this handsome highwayman, still immaculately dressed in his favorite white waistcoat and breeches and sporting a hat adorned with cherry-colored ribbons.

However, Cox-like surnames initially were more to be found further west in England:
- in the southwest of the country in Wiltshire, Dorset, and Somerset
- and in the middle of the country in Warwickshire and Oxfordshire.
Kockes and variants of that name had appeared in the records of Bridgewater, Somerset in the mid-15th century.
- Many Coxes in Somerset were rounded up after the failure of the Monmouth Rebellion in 1865.
- Tom Cox was a famous highway from Somerset who was eventually caught and hanged in 1689.
- Daniel Coxe, physician to Queen Anne in the early 18th century, was descended from a prominent Somerset line of Coxes.
- Samuel Cox was a Beaminster merchant in Dorset.
- Coxes from Wimborne were shipowners and William Cox of this family was an early settler in Australia (he arrived in 1800).
