Hoyle Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
This surname is derived from a geographical locality. 'at the hole'; N. English hoyle. In Yorks and Lancashire hole is still dialectically hoyle. Any one who lived in a round hollow or pit would be Thomas or Ralph in the Hoyle.
Thomas de Hoyle, Close Rolls 34 Henry III.
Alicia in le Hoyle, 1379: Poll Tax of Yorkshire.
Alicia del Hoyle, 1379: ibid.
Willelmus de Hoyles, 1379: ibid.
1590. Edward Hoyle, of Haslingden, Lancashire: Wills at Chester.
1613. John Hoyle, of Spotland, Lancashire: ibid.
1763. Married — Robert Hoyle and Anne Holmes: St. George, Hanover Square.
Local. There is a Holl near Kirriemuir and another near Meigle, Perthshire, and there ere lands named Holl or Hoyle in Forfar Retours (2,268, 312, etc.). There is also a Holl or Hole in Ayrshire. Jacobus Hoyle, burgess of Anstruther, 1669 (Inquis. Tut., 940), and Agnes Hoill was married in Edinburgh, 1692 (Edtnb. Marr.).
A North. variant of Hole, q.v.
Alicia in le Hoyle.—Yorks Poll-Tax, A.D. 1379.
(English) Dweller in, or near, a hollow, or low land.
A Yorkshire topographer thus speaks of the cunabula of this family: "Hoile House, so called from being situate in a hole or bottom, gave name to a family who resided there as late as the beginning of the last century (1600), if not later. It is reckoned a very ancient situation, but has nothing remarkable about it now." Watson's Halifax, 1775. A respectable family of the name still existing deduce their pedigree from Edw. Hoyle of Hoyle House in 1528; but there are other local sources which may in some instances have originated the name, as Hoile House, co. Dumfries, Hoyle, a hamlet in West Sussex, &c. The "Hoele of Flyntshire" mentioned by Leland was probably a gentleman of the numerous race of the Howells. There is, or was, in Kent a family of Hoile, but from Hasted it would appear that their name was originally Hild. Hole and Hoole frequently interchange with Hoyle, and are doubtless synonymous.
The old family of Hoyle of Hoyle House date back about three centuries (W. and L.). Thomas Hoyle, merchant, was lord mayor of York in 1632 and 1644 (D.).
