de Aquila Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

DE AQUILA: "The surname of this family was originally assumed from Aquila, in Normandy; so denominated by reason an eagle had made her nest in an oak growing there when the castle was first building. Eugenulf de Aquila accompanied Duke William into England." Banks. The family were banished by Henry III., and probably never returned, as their name does not occur in more recent times, unless, indeed, the modem Egles be a translation of it. See Michell. The manor of Pevensey, co. Sussex, of which the De Aquilas were anciently lords, is still called the "honour of the Eagle," from that circumstance. Eugenulf, who is called by Master Wace Engerran de l'Aigle, fell at Hastings. Ord. Vit. "And Engerran de l'Aigle came also, with a shield slung at his neck, and, gallantly handling his spear, struck down many English. He strove hard to serve the Duke well for the sake of the lands he had promised him," Taylor's Roman de Rou, p, 21.
