  Cuttell Family Crest / Cuttell Coat of ArmsThe surname of CUTTELL was derived from the Old English word COTERELL - a tenant of a small cottage. The name was brought into England in the wake of the Norman Invasion, and Beringarious Cotel, documented in 1084 in Warwickshire, appears to be the first of the name on record. Many of the early names recorded in medieval documents denote noble families but many also indicate migration from the continent during, and in the wake of, the Norman invasion of 1066. There was a constant stream of merchants, workmen and others arriving in England during this time. In 1086 the Record of Great Inquisition of lands of England, their extent, value, ownership and liabilities was made by order of William The Conquerer. It is known as the Domesday Book.

Ulster King of Arms in 1884.Between the 11th and 15th centuries it became customary for surnames to be assumed in Europe, but they were not commonplace in England or Scotland before the Norman Conquest of 1066. They are to be found in the Domesday Book of 1086. Those of gentler blood assumed surnames at this time, but it was not until the reign of Edward 111. (1307-1327) that it became common practice amongst all people. The escallop shells depicted in the arms was a badge much used by Pilgrims, and is a common bearing in coat armour. |
