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

The Norval surname is thought to be derived from the name of a place in England named Northwell. The name of this place combines the old English term for "north" with other geographic features such as "welle," meaning "a well or spring." There are also no doubt instances of this name that are derived from a shortened form of the Scottish name Normanville (ultimately of Norman French origin).
