Where did the Scottish Quaale family come from? What is the Scottish Quaale family crest and coat of arms? When did the Quaale family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Quaale family history? The ancestors of the Quaale family come from the ancient Scottish kingdom of Dalriada. Their surname comes from the personal name Paul. The Gaelic form of the name was Mac Phail, which is normally Anglicized MacFail or MacPhail, and means son of Paul. Medieval spelling was at best an intuitive process, and translation between Gaelic and English was no more effective. These factors caused an enormous number of spelling variations in Dalriadan names. In fact, it was not uncommon to see a father and son who spelled their name differently. Over the years, Quaale has been spelled Quail, Quayle, Quaile, Quailes, McQuail, McQuayl and others. First found in the Isle of Man, where they held a family seat from early times and their first records appeared on the early census rolls taken by the early Kings of Britain to determine the rate of taxation of their subjects.

Settlers from Scotland put down roots in communities all along the east coast of North America. Some moved north from the American colonies to Canada as United Empire Loyalists during the American War of Independence. As Clan societies and highland games started in North America in the 20th century many Scots rediscovered parts of their heritage. Early North American records indicate many people bearing the name Quaale were among those contributors: Anne Quaile and her husband, who came to Virginia in 1623; Hugh Quale settled in Barbados in 1679; Joe Quyle settled in Virginia in 1635; John Quayle settled in Virginia in 1650. 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: Qualis ero spero Motto Translation: I hope what I shall be.

We generally include the oldest published family crest once associated with each surname. This page was last modified on 16 October 2012 at 09:38. ©2000-2013 Swyrich Corporation.
