Jaundrill Family History

Jaundrill Surname Meaning

From Middle English *jaunerel (jaune ‘yellow’ + suffix -erel of Anglo-Norman origin) for someone with a yellowish complexion possibly suffering from jaundice.

For the -d- compare the word jaundice from Old French jaunice.

The variant Jod(e)rell may have arisen through misreading Jandrell as *Jaudrell.

Note William Jawdrell 1448 in PROB 11 whose name may be an early form of Jodrell or a misreading of Jaundrell.
