Neal Family History
Neal Name Meaning
English, Scottish, and Irish: from an Anglo-Scandinavian form
of the Gaelic name Niall (see Neill). This was adopted
by the Scandinavians in the form Njal and was introduced into
northern England and East Anglia by them, rather than being taken
directly from Gaelic. It was reinforced after the Norman Conquest by
the Anglo-Norman French and Middle English forms Neel,
Nihel, and Nigel, which were brought to England by the
Normans.Scottish and Irish: reduced form of McNeal (see
McNeil).
