Where did the English Terrill family come from? What is the English Terrill family crest and coat of arms? When did the Terrill family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Terrill family history?
The origins of the Anglo-Saxon name Terrill come from its first bearer, who was a stubborn or obstinate person. The surname Terrill is derived from the Old French word tirer, which means to draw. This is used in the same sense as the word tirand, which means "one who pulls on the reins;" thus it may be that it was used as a nickname for a stubborn person, before coming to be used as a hereditary surname.
