Dodwell Coat of Arms

The surname Dodwell is of Anglo-Saxon origin, derived from the Old English pre-7th Century word dodda, which means a horn, and well(a), which means a spring or stream. The name was originally given to someone who lived near a spring or stream shaped like a horn. The Dodwell surname originated in various regions of England, including Yorkshire and Lancashire.

As for its Irish descent, the Dodwell surname is believed to have been brought to Ireland during the 17th century by English settlers during the Plantation of Ulster. Many English families were given land and estates in Ireland during this period, and it is likely that the Dodwell name was among those that arrived with these settlers.

Over time, the Dodwell name would have become established in various parts of Ireland, particularly in the northern and eastern regions where English influence was strongest. The name may have also been adopted by some Irish families through intermarriage with English settlers.

Today, the Dodwell surname can still be found in Ireland, particularly in counties with a history of English settlement. The name has also spread to other parts of the world where Irish and English immigrants have settled, such as the United States, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.
