Markwell Family History
This interesting and unusual surname recorded in several modern forms including Markwell, Markwelley, Marvelley and Mervelley, is English, but maybe of pre 10th century French origins. Although it appears to be from Markwell, a village in Cornwall, and this may be so for some nameholders, the surname is not recorded in the Cornish names list. Research suggests that it may have been one of the many "imports" into England brough by the Norman-French invaders of 1066. If this is so, the derivation is probably from the word "merveille" meaning miracle or marvellous, a surname which survives in this form in France.Select Audience
