Etymology of Stoll

What does the name Stoll mean?

The name Stoll derived it's origins from one of the two places named Stowell in England. These place names mean "stony spring or stream," from the Old English "stan" + "well." 1

Early Origins of the Stoll family

The surname Stoll was first found in Gloucestershire and Somerset where they held a family seat from ancient times as Lords of the manor of Catherston. West Stowell in Wiltshire which is now known as Alton-Priors.

The Somerset is the oldest location dating back to the Domesday Book of 1086 when it was known as Stanwelle. 2

One of the first records of the family was Geoffrey de Stawelle, Somerset, 1 Edward III (recorded during the first year's reign of King Edward III.) 3

The Hundredorum Rolls of 1273 listed: Richard de Stawell, Wiltshire; and Lecia Stowelle, Cambridgeshire. 4

Some of the family were also found in Jacobstow, Cornwall. "The manor of Penhallam, which extends into the parishes of Poundstock, Week St. Mary, and Boyton, was formerly in the family of Newell of Somerset. Norden describes it as the seat of Sir John Stawell, then lately deceased. Lysons, when speaking of Penhallam, supposes that it came into the family of Sir John Stawell, by a match with the heiress of a Cornish family called Beaupre, or Belloprato. This circumstance probably drew this family from Somersetshire, and occasioned their settling in Cornwall." 5

The Stoll Motto +

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: En parole Je vis
Motto Translation: I live on the word.
