Origins of Hall surname[]
The surname Hall has origins in multiple countries and cultures, making it a difficult name to trace definitively. However, there are several theories about the origins of the Hall surname.
One theory is that it is an English surname derived from the Old English word "heall," which meant "hall" or "manor house." This could have been a topographical name for someone who lived near or worked at such a building. Another possibility is that it was a name for someone who worked in a large house, such as a servant or steward.
Another theory is that the Hall surname originated in Scotland and was a name for someone who lived in or near a large hall or gathering place. This could have referred to a community meeting place or a place where judicial proceedings were held.
In Ireland, the Hall surname is often an anglicized version of the Gaelic name "O'hAllmhurain," meaning "descendant of Allmhurain." This was a personal name that meant "very handsome" or "very cheerful."
One Englishman changed his surname to "Hall" just to distinguish himself from a relative. There could have been others who did the same, now undocumented.
