Coxall Family History

Coxall Surname Meaning

From Coggeshall (Essex). The place-name recorded as Cogeshala in 1086 (Domesday Book) is from an Old English personal name either *Cogg or Cocc (with the genitive singular -es) + halh ‘nook’. Perhaps from Coxall, a lost place in Staffs (near Tatenhill?) recorded as Cokeshalle in 1420 and Cokesall otherwise Coxall in 1618.

Apparently named with the Old English personal name *Cocc + Old English hall ‘hall’ or halh ‘nook corner of land’. Its re-spelling as Cockershall and Cockersole in the 1557 and 1667 forms would arise from the use of -er- as an inverted spelling of -e-, which is recorded in other names from the late 15th century.
