The surname Halliwell, also known as Hollowell, has its origins in Ireland. It is believed to be derived from the Gaelic name "Ó hÁilgheóil," which translates to "descendant of the follower of the Church."
The Halliwells or Hollowells were likely prominent individuals in their communities, known for their devotion to the church. This surname is found mainly in the southern regions of Ireland, such as County Cork and County Kerry.
During the 19th and early 20th centuries, many Irish families emigrated to the United States in search of better opportunities. The Halliwell or Hollowell surname also made its way across the Atlantic during this time.
As Irish immigrants settled in different parts of the U.S., they often anglicized their surnames to better fit into the English-speaking society. This could explain the slight variation in spelling between Halliwell and Hollowell.
Today, individuals with the surname Halliwell or Hollowell can be found in various parts of the world, particularly in areas with a history of Irish immigration. They carry with them a heritage rooted in Irish culture and the legacy of their ancestors' commitment to the church.
