Where did the English Needell family come from? What is the English Needell family crest and coat of arms? When did the Needell family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Needell family history? The name Needell is from the ancient Anglo-Saxon tribes of Britain. The name was given to a person who was a maker of needles. The surname Needell is derived from the Old English word nędlere, which means needler. This is in turn derived from the Old English word nędl, which means needle. Sound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Needell family name include Needle, Needles, Needell, Needdele, Nadal, Nadle, Needler, Nedler, Nedlere, Neelder, Nelder, Neldere, Nadler, Nadlere, Nayldor, Neilder, Needlemaker and many more.
