Släkthistoria för Coxall
Coxall Vad efternamn betyder
from Coggeshall (Essex). The place-name recorded as Cogeshala in 1086 (Domesday Book ) is from an Old English personal name either *Cogg or Cocc (with the genitive singular -es) + halh ‘nook’. perhaps from Coxall a lost place in Staffs (near Tatenhill?) recorded as Cokeshalle in 1420 and Cokesall otherwise Coxall in 1618 apparently named with the Old English personal name *Cocc + Old English hall ‘hall’ or halh ‘nook corner of land’. Its re-spelling as Cockershall and Cockersole in the 1557 and 1667 forms would arise from the use of -er- as an inverted spelling of -e- which is recorded in other names from the late 15th century. However apart from the 1381 example (which may not belong here) no evidence has been found for a medieval surname derived from this place-name.
