- Origins Available:
 England The name Threlfall came to England with the ancestors of the Threlfall family in the Norman Conquest of 1066. The Threlfall family lived in Lancashire, at Trelefelt. Early Origins of the Threlfall familyThe surname Threlfall was first found in Lancashire, where they took their surname from a former manor known as Trelefelt or Threlfield. 1 Originally known as Trelefelt, the documents of this manor have been lost, but at least it is recorded in the Domesday Book. 2 A very rare surname, the only record we found was that of William de Threliffal, who was listed in the Assize Rolls for Lancashire in 1246. 3 Early History of the Threlfall familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Threlfall research.

Threlfall Spelling VariationsIt is only in the last few hundred years that the English language has been standardized. For that reason, Anglo-Norman surnames like Threlfall are characterized by many spelling variations. Scribes and monks in the Middle Ages spelled names they sounded, so it is common to find several variations that refer to a single person. As the English language changed and incorporated elements of other European languages such as Norman French and Latin, even literate people regularly changed the spelling of their names. The variations of the name Threlfall include Trelfall, Threlfall, Threlfal, Threlfel, Threlfell, Threlful, Threlfull, Threlfield and many more.

Many of the settlers did not make the long passage alive, but those who did see the shores of North America were welcomed with great opportunity. Many of the families that came from England went on to make essential contributions to the emerging nations of Canada and the United States.
