Patenall Family History

Patenall Surname Meaning

Perhaps from Peyton Hall in Manuden (Essex) which is recorded as Pachen Hou in 1086, Pakenho in 1254, and Pakenho alias Pakenho Hall alias Pakenhall alias Patenhall in 1558–1603, or from Padnall in Ilford (also Essex) which is recorded as Padenhale in 1303, Patenhale in 1369, and Padnale in 1456.

Peyton Hall probably derives from an Old English personal name *Paca (genitive *Pacan) + Old English hōh ‘heel, spur of land’. Padnall probably derives from the Old English personal name Pada (genitive Padan) + Old English halh ‘nook, corner of land’.
