Släkthistoria för Pragnell
Pragnell Vad efternamn betyder
possibly an irregular development of the male given name Paganel (see Pannell) avoiding perhaps unwelcome association with pagan. It is first found in Wilts and in the 14th century we also find Walter Pagenhulle 1332 in Subsidy Rolls (Devizes Wilts) and Geoffrey Pangnelle 1332 in Subsidy Rolls (Aldbourne Wilts). There were also Pannells in the same county at the same time: Hugh Paynelle 1332 in Subsidy Rolls (Purton Wilts) and John Panelle 1332 in Subsidy Rolls (Bishopstone by Salisbury Wilts). Compare Prangley.
