Rushall Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps from any of several places called Rushall (Norfolk Staffs Wilts) especially the one in Staffs or possibly sometimes from Rusthall in Speldhurst (Kent). Rushall in Staffs which is recorded as Rischale in 1086 Rushale in 1195 and Russehall in 1242 derives from Old English *rysc ‘rush rushes’ + halh ‘nook corner of land’. Rushall in Norfolk which is recorded as Riuishale in 1175 derives from an uncertain first element + Old English halh. Rushall in Wilts is recorded as Rusteshala in 1160 Rusteshell in 1285 Rosshall in 1416 Russhale in 1430 and Russall in 1535. It derives from an Old English personal name *Rust (genitive *Rustes) + halh. Rusthall in Speldhurst (Kent) which is recorded in a surname as (de) Rustuwelle in about 1180 probably derives from Old English rust ‘rust rust colour’ + wella ‘well spring stream’ but with a change in the final element due to influence from Middle English Old English hall ‘hall residence’ perhaps referring to a nearby building. See Rustell. see Russell which was probably confused with the name in (1).
