![Show Contents]() Hammell History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
The Hammell surname comes from an Old French word "hamel," which meant "homestead." It was likely first used as a name to describe someone who lived at a farm on the outskirts of a main town, or for someone that lived in a small village. 1 Early Origins of the Hammell familyThe surname Hammell was first found in Normandy (French: Normandie), the former Duchy of Normandy, where this distinguished family held a family seat at Désert, Fougeroux, and St.-Etienne. The name was first found in Normandy with Guillaume in 1066, and again with Richard in 1116. 2 They branched to the west at Bottelière in Brittany (French: Bretagne), and to the east to Artois where they held a family seat in Bellenglise, to St.-Rémy in Champagne where they were elevated to the Counts du Hamel. They also branched to Holland at Arnhem and Bois-le-duc. At Désert in Normandy they were elevated to the nobility in 1598. Many of the estates and titles were lost during the French Revolution which started in 1789. Early History of the Hammell familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Hammell research.
