Pinnell Surname Definition:

I find no prefix 'de' or 'de la' to the early instances. Ralph Pinel was a tenant in capite in Essex and Suffolk at the date of Domesday. Two centuries later, as will be seen below, the surname was still settled there. I cannot classify the name, but probably it is local in spite of the absence of local prefixes, and of Norman extraction.
