Where did the German Abell family come from? What is the German Abell family crest and coat of arms? When did the Abell family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Abell family history?

The surname Abell is a patronymic name, derived from the Old German personal name Abel, which means "noble one." Interestingly, it does not appear to be derived from the biblical name Abel. The surname is associated with Swabia, in the southwest of Germany.
