It is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, early Anglo-Saxon surnames like Haswell are characterized by many spelling variations. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages, even literate people changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Haswell include: Haswell, Hasswell, Hastwell and others.

An inquiry into the early roots of North American families has revealed a number of immigrants bearing the name Haswell or a variant listed above:
