Talbot is the variation of the Tolbert. Variant of Talbot that means "to cut fagots".

This illustrious family trace, sine hiatu, to the great Domesday tenant, Richard Talebot. Scholar Shirley, in his Noble and Gentle Men, remarks, that "no family in England are more connected with the history of our country than this noble race; few are more highly allied. The Marches of Wales appear to have been the original seat; afterwards we find the Talbots in Shropshire, in Staffordshire, and lastly in Yorkshire."

In Ireland the settlement of a branch of the family is coeval with the English rule, Henry II having granted Malahide to Richard Talbot, whose lineal descendant, Lord Talbot, writes himself 'of Malahide' to this day.

This name is not territorial, being never prefixed with De. A talbot in heraldry is a hunting-dog, however the history of word is yet to be deciphered. Dr. Johnson defines it as "a hound," and says, though incorrectly, that "it is borne by the house of Talbot in their arms." Concerning the Talbot, Legh speaks thus: "Isidore wryteth, that these houndes pursue the foote of pray, by sent of ye same, or els by ye bloud thereof, whether it be by night or daye. But I referre the judgment of that love venison so well as will jeopardie a joynt for buck or doe. This hounde is enemy to the Catte." Accedens of Armory.
