Hugues de Payens - if you are confused on the spelling don’t be... He’s the oldest famous Payne the family is aware of. 9 February 1070 – 24 May 1136 there’s an entire wiki on his greatness. 😂 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hugues_de_Payens he’s known for being a founding member of the knights Templar and the first Grand Master. The English family name Payne originates in France as a variation of the name Payen (Payen; Payens or Payns). The name was brought to the British Isles as a result of the Norman Conquest of England, and is now common in English-speaking countries. In this wiki you can find many popular Payne’s, I looked through them, but I’m pretty sure they aren’t my family members, mostly because my name isn’t Payne, so more than likely they’re probably related to some Payne I don’t know. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Payne_(surname)#:~:text=The%20English%20family%20name%20Payne,common%20in%20English%2Dspeaking%20countries.The name also has a family crest and coat of arms in Ireland and Scotland along with a tartan. https://www.irishsurnames.com/cgi-bin/gallery.pl?name=payne&capname=Payne&letter=p
