Simmill Surname Meaning

From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history

SIMNEL: " The finest sort of bread. In Shropshire, the word is still in use to designate a kind of cake. Lambert Simmel, the pretended Earl of Warwick, temp. Henry VII., was a baker's lad, who had been trained for the character by Simon the priest." The surname was doubtless allusive to his trade. King William the Conqueror, at the foundation of Battel Abbey, gave his monks" a memorial of his love in appointing tor their daily use, bread tit for the table of a king, which is commonly called thirty-six ounces by weight, and one fourth more during Lent, that something might remain for charity." Chronicle of Battel Abbey, p. 27. That surnames were borrowed from such sources is evidenced by Whitbread, Wastell, &c.: and in the Hundred Rolls we find at Wroxeter a lady called Petronilla Swetedoughe.
