Origin Displayed: English

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

The Moyle name is derived from the Cornish word "moyl," meaning "bald," as such, it may have evolved from a nickname.

Spelling variations of this family name include: Moyle, Moil, Moile, Moyles, Muyle and others.

First found in Cornwall where they were anciently seated as Lords of the Manor of Bake. Cornwall was a land set apart, a land of mystique and quaint customs, more strongly related to Brittany and Wales than to England. It was not until the 10th century that they submitted to the Saxon rule of England. Since then, their influence has moved east into Devon, Somerset and Dorset.

Some of the first settlers of this family name or some of its variants were: David Moyle, who arrived in Virginia in 1666; Dorothy Moyle, who settled in Virginia in 1635; Edward Moyle, who came to Virginia in 1654; Henry Moyle, who came to Virginia in 1715.
