Their name, however, is a reference to Roussel, Normandy, the family's place of residence prior to the Norman Conquest of England in 1066.Before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Sound was what guided spelling in the Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Rusell family name include Russell, Russel and others. First found in Dorset where they were originally descended from William Bertram, Baron of Briquebec, living in 1012.

Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto.
