Anguille Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
This name came from the name given to "Eel" in French. Many other fishes are also called "Anguille". They need to look like an eel, or a snake, but be a fish. I have been told that the name could have been given for either of the two reason:
a) for a fisherman or aperson who sold that type of fish
b) a person who was skilled either in escaping a situation or in conning others
There is an expression that means a situation is fishy in French. In times past they would say that, "il y a anguille sous roche." - "There is an eel under the rock."
