Wannell Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps in some cases from Wadmill Farm in Stour Provost (Dorset) recorded as Wabenhull in 1300 and Wavenhill in 1421 or from the 'messuage lands and tenement called Wavinhill part of Axworthy barton in Thrushelton [Devon]' 1712 in Cornwall Record Office . The Dorset place-name appears to derive from an Old English personal name *Waba (genitive *Waban) + Old English hyll ‘hill’. The origin of the Devon place-name cannot be certain due to a lack of medieval forms.
