Aspell Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'of Aspall,' a parish in Suffolk, one mile from Debenham.

'She gave her manors of Stonhall and Aspal, in Suffolk, which came by her mother, daughter and co-heir of Sir John de Aspal,' 1385: History of Norfolk.

Gilbert de Aspale, Norfolk, 44 Edward II: ibid.

Robert de Aspale, Norfolk, 1323: ibid.

Thomas Aspal, rector of Francham Magna, Norfolk, 1529: ibid.

Probably the Lancashire Aspells represent Aspinall, which see: a clear instance is there given. This surname has crossed the Atlantic. Oddly enough, I find but scanty English representatives as yet.
