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

Hall: (Anglo-Saxon), a slope. Tichenhall is Ticenhealh, the slope of the goat. Holton in Somerset is Healhton - in A.S., the tun on a slope. Heale is a name of a place and a surname in Devon. Rushall in Yorkshire is the rushy slope. Willenhall is the slope of Willan. Hales signifies the slopes. Willingale Spain was Uulingehala, a hill-slope on which a soldier of fortune from Spain named Henry de Ispania settled. But it had an earlier settler called Willa, whose family was that of the Willings. Hall, however, is the aula of a manor as well, and has given its name to families, but probably not so often as the slope; for the family in the aula would be well known, as manorial owners, and have their names, whereas the humble cotter on the hill­side would be a William on Healh or Richard Hall.
