Origins Available: Irish, Scottish Where did the Scottish Dannels family come from? What is the Scottish Dannels family crest and coat of arms? When did the Dannels family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Dannels family history? The ancestors of the Dannels family come from the ancient Scottish kingdom of Dalriada. The family name comes from the personal name Donald. The name Dannels results from an erroneous Anglicization of the Gaelic name Mac Dhomnuill, which means son of Donald and is normally Anglicized MacDonald. The confusion is a result of the similar sound of the given names Daniel and Donald. Historical recordings of the name Dannels include many spelling variations. They are the result of repeated translations of the name from Gaelic to English and inconsistencies in spelling rules. They include MacDaniel, MacDaniell, MacDanell and others. First found in Argyleshire, where they held a family seat from early times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Dannels research.

Their descendants still populate many communities in the eastern parts of both the United States and Canada. Some settled in Canada as United Empire Loyalists, in the wake of the American War of Independence. Families on both sides of the border have recovered much of their heritage in the 20th century through Clan societies and highland games. Analysis of immigration records indicates that some of the first North American immigrants bore the name Dannels or a variant listed above: Daniel MacDanell settled in New England in 1716; Angus, Anne, Dan, John and Mary MacDaniel settled in Maryland in 1747; Edward, Hugh, Isaac MacDaniel settled in Boston in 1769. The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto. Motto: Toujours pret Motto Translation: Always ready.
The Dannels Family Crest was acquired from the Houseofnames.com archives. The Dannels Family Crest was drawn according to heraldic standards based on published blazons. We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 27 October 2010 at 13:47. ©2000-2012 Swyrich Corporation.
