Cannell Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
Manx forms of Connell, q.v.
(English) A Manx form of Conell, q.v.
From Mac Conaill, 'Conail’s Son', though it may sometimes be a contraction of Mac Domhnaill, 'Domh- nall's Son'. ‘Domnhall is a diminutive of the root dom = deminus, "a lord or master.” The "d" by aspiration is often omitted in sound, which has given rise to the family name Mac Connell, now common in Ulster' The confusion between Mac Connell and Mac Donnell may have been promoted by the fact that Connall was actually the name of an ancestor of the O’Donnell family.
'Connall Gulban, son of Niall of the Nine Hostages (from whom are descended the Cinel-Conaill), was slain'.
The Scottish clan of Mac Donald derive their name from Donald, eldest son of Reginald, second son of the celebrated Somerled of Argyll, and King of the Isles.
From Canwell; a location name in Staffordshire Or Canville; a location name in Normandy.
