Patil History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Origins Available:
England

The name Patil is of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from the personal name Phillip. A common medieval English form of the name Phillip is Philpot. Sometimes this got shortened to Pot, and a diminutive suffix could be added: in this case, el. So, someone named Phillip could become known as Potel. They would then pass this name down to their children. Therefore, the surname Patil means "son of Phillip." 1 2

Early Origins of the Patil family

The surname Patil was first found in Somerset, where Richard Potel was listed in the Assize Rolls of 1243 and later in the Hundredorum Rolls of 1279 for Buckinghamshire. 3 2

Patil migration to the United States +

A great wave of immigration to the New World was the result of the enormous political and religious disarray that struck England at that time. Families left for the New World in extremely large numbers. The long journey was the end of many immigrants and many more arrived sick and starving. Still, those who made it were rewarded with an opportunity far greater than they had known at home in England. These emigrant families went on to make significant contributions to these emerging colonies in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers carried this name or one of its variants:
