- Origins Available:
 England The Littlehale surname comes from the from Old English words "lyttel," meaning "small," and "halh," meaning a "hollow." As such, it may have been a topographic name for such a place, or perhaps a habitational name taken on from a minor place name. Early Origins of the Littlehale familyThe surname Littlehale was first found in Shropshire where they held a family seat as Lords of the Manor. The Saxon influence of English history diminished after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. The language of the courts was French for the next three centuries and the Norman ambience prevailed. But Saxon surnames survived and the family name was first referenced in the 13th century when they held lands.

The motto was originally a war cry or slogan. Mottoes first began to be shown with arms in the 14th and 15th centuries, but were not in general use until the 17th century. Thus the oldest coats of arms generally do not include a motto. Mottoes seldom form part of the grant of arms: Under most heraldic authorities, a motto is an optional component of the coat of arms, and can be added to or changed at will; many families have chosen not to display a motto.
Motto: Finis coronat opus
Motto Translation: The end crowns the work.
