Early Origins of the Frogull familyThe surname Frogull was first found in Kent where Henry de ffrogenhole was recorded in 1262. The name is thought to have originated at Frog’s Hole in Goudhurst. 1 However, another source disagrees with this origin, noting the name could have originated at Frognall, a hamlet in Lincolnshire. In the New World, Frognall is the name of a large boom-era mansion located at 54 Mont Albert Road in the Melbourne suburb of Canterbury, Australia. We can find no reason for the eponym. Frognal House is a Jacobean mansion in London, England, built in the early 16th century. Early History of the Frogull familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Frogull research.

Frogull Spelling VariationsSound was what guided spelling in the essentially pre-literate Middle Ages, so one person's name was often recorded under several variations during a single lifetime. Also, before the advent of the printing press and the first dictionaries, the English language was not standardized. Therefore, spelling variations were common, even among the names of the most literate people. Known variations of the Frogull family name include Frognall, Frogenall, Frogenhall, Froghall, Frogull and many more.

Migration of the Frogull familyFor political, religious, and economic reasons, thousands of English families boarded ships for Ireland, Canada, the America colonies, and many of smaller tropical colonies in the hope of finding better lives abroad. Although the passage on the cramped, dank ships caused many to arrive in the New World diseased and starving, those families that survived the trip often went on to make valuable contributions to those new societies to which they arrived. Early immigrants bearing the Frogull surname or a spelling variation of the name include: the name represented in many forms and recorded from the mid 17th century in the great migration from Europe. Migrants settled in the eastern seaboard from Newfoundland, to Maine, to Virginia, the Carolinas, and to the islands..
