The surname Sewell or Shewal, of Irish descent, has a rich and intriguing history that spans several centuries.
The name Sewell is derived from the Old English word "S�well," which means "sea wall" or "bank." It is believed that the original bearers of this surname were likely involved in the construction or maintenance of sea walls or embankments along the Irish coast.
The Sewell or Shewal surname can be traced back to medieval times when Ireland was heavily influenced by Norman and English settlers. Many Norman families adopted English surnames during this period, and it is likely that the Sewell name was anglicized from its original Irish form.
Over time, the Sewell or Shewal surname became more common in certain regions of Ireland, particularly in counties such as Dublin, Meath, and Kildare. The name gradually spread to other parts of the country as families migrated or intermarried with other Irish clans.
Today, individuals with the surname Sewell or Shewal can be found not only in Ireland but also in other parts of the world where Irish immigrants settled, such as the United States, Canada, and Australia. The name has also undergone various spelling variations over time, including Sheill, Shiell, and Shiel.
