When the parish & surrounding settlement was founded it was known as "Kingston". By the 14th century the names "Kingston by Shoreham" and "South Kingston" had also been recorded, but in 1315 it took the name "Kingston Bouci" (later "Kingston Buci"), derived from the de Bouci or de Boucey surname of the lord of manor. Later this surname became anglicised to Bowsey and the village name changed accordingly. In the 18th century this was assumed to mean "by sea", and the name "Kingston by Sea" was established. In the 20th century both "Kingston by Sea" and "Kingston Buci" are used. Today maps refer to it as "Kingston by Sea" and Adur District Council refers to it as "Kingston Buci". The official name of the parish is "St Julian Kingston Buci".
