Evill Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

From Yville; a location name in Normandy.

British Family Names: Their Origin and Meaning (1903) by Henry Barber

Evill: is from Yville in Normandy. At first the name was D’Eville, but the d was dropped because Devil was the inevitable corruption. Indeed, even then the name did not escape. My uncle had a white-haired curate of the name of Evill, but he went throughout the neighbourhood by the name of “the Old Devil,” though a more innocent and gentle soul did not exist.
