Tyrell Family Crest
The surname Tyrell, found in England and Ireland, is derived from a Norman nickname for a stubborn person, from the Old French term tirel, used of an animal which pulls on the reins, a derivative of tirer meaning “to pull.” The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Ralph Turold, which was dated 1273, in the “Hundred Rolls of Suffolk.” When found in Ireland the name is most frequent in the eastern province of Leinster particularly counties Wicklow, Kildare and Offaly. The name is first recorded in the New World in 1667 when William Tyrell arrived in Virginia. Today there are approximately 1500 bearers of the name Tyrell living in the United States.
