Cartmill Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

Though this name is not dealt with in any of the standard works on surnames its frequent occurrence in mediaeval Irish records with the prefix de indicates that it is a toponymic, and a Fiant of 1563shows the place to be Cartmell in Lancashire. The earliest reference to it which I have met is to John Kertmel, a Drogheda juror in 1306,and the Justiciary Rolls of the same year contain a strange case in Co. Kildare where one deKertmel was concerned in the rescue of the murderer of another deKertmel. The family in due course became established in Co. Armagh and are to be found in the 1664 hearth money rolls for that county. Modern birth registrations show that they are still there and in some adjacent areas.
