Ridell Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(English) Descendant of little Rada (counsel); dweller on, or near, a red hill; one who came from Rydal or Ryedale (valley where rye was grown), in Westmorland and Yorkshire respectively.
Ridell: descended from the Counts of Angoulême. The surname was first assumed by Geoffrey, the second son of Count Geoffrey, in 1048. He had two sons; the second, of the same name as himself, came to England along with William Bigod. He is mentioned in Domesday as receiving large grants of land, and he also succeeded to his father’s barony in Guienne. The next in succession was drowned in the White Ship, leaving only a daughter, who married Richard Basset; and their son Geoffrey retained the name of Basset, but the second continued that of Ridell. Not to be confounded with the Ridells, descended from the De Ridales, so called from a district in Yorkshire.
