England

The origins of the Brindell name come from when the Anglo-Saxon tribes ruled over Britain. The name Brindell was originally derived from a family having lived in or near the settlement of Brindle in Lancashire.

Early Origins of the Brindell family

The surname Brindell was first found in Lancashire at Brindle, a small village and civil parish of the borough of Chorley that dates back to at least 1206 when it was first listed as Burnhill. The place name probably means "hill by a stream," from the Old English words "burna" + "hyll." 1 "This place appears to have been granted, by the superior tenant of the crown, soon after the Conquest, to a family who were designated from their possessions. The manor passed by the marriage of the heiress of 'Sir Peter de Bryn, of Brynhill,' to the Gerards, with whom it continued till the reign of Henry VIII." 2
