 England
The origins of the Idyl name lie with England's ancient Anglo-Saxon culture. It comes from when the family lived in the region of Idle at Calverley in Yorkshire. Idyl is a topographic surname, which was given to a person who resided near a physical feature such as a hill, stream, church, or type of tree. Habitation names form the other broad category of surnames that were derived from place-names. They were derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads. Other local names are derived from the names of houses, manors, estates, regions, and entire counties. Early Origins of the Idyl familyThe surname Idyl was first found in Herefordshire, where they held a family seat from ancient times.

Migration of the Idyl familyTo escape oppression and starvation at that time, many English families left for the "open frontiers" of the New World with all its perceived opportunities. In droves people migrated to the many British colonies, those in North America in particular, paying high rates for passages in cramped, unsafe ships. Although many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, those who did see the shores of North America perceived great opportunities before them. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States. Research into various historical records revealed some of first members of the Idyl family emigrate to North America: Christian Idle, who immigrated to Texas in 1846.
