Devile Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

(French.) De Ville, from the village or town. Some write this name Devil!

An Etymological Dictionary of Family and Christian Names (1857) by William Arthur

DEVIL: This surname occurs in many languages; but the only instance of it which I recollect in England is that of the monk, Willelmus cognomento Diabolus. See English Surn. i., 223. The French De Ville, naturalized amongst us, has often been misunderstood to be the synonym of Satan, and various vowel changes have been made by the bearers of it to avoid this very objectionable notion. Hence it is commonly written Divall, Divoll, Devall, &c., while in records Devol, Devile, Deyvil, &c., are found.

Patronymica Britannica (1860) by Mark Antony Lower

DEVIL: Lower mentions a monk named Willelmus cognomento Diabolus; but he seems to think this name may be from the French De Ville, commonly written Divall, Divoll, Devall, &c., and in records Devol, Devile, Deyvil, &c. I am inclined to think the name to be the same with D'Eyville; from de Davidis villa; but see Cowell's Interpreter.

Ludus Patronymicus (1868) by Richard Stephen Charnock

A Norman name: Déville; a local name
