Boxell Family History
Boxell Name Meaning
English (Sussex): habitational name either from Bugsell Farm in Salehurst (Sussex) or from a lost Boxholte in Kirdford (Sussex) or perhaps from Buxhalls in Lindfield (Sussex) though this may be a late form of another placename in Lindfield with a different etymology. Bugsell Farm is named with Old English bucc ‘buck’ + hyll ‘hill’. The lost Boxholte is from Old English box ‘box’ + holt ‘wood’.
