A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames (1896) by Charles Wareing Endell Bardsley

TATENEL: An English name probably from Tattenhall in the county of Chester. About 1180 William de Tatenhill witnessed a charter by Matthew Kyninmond, bishop of Aberdeen (REA., I, p. 12), and about the same date a charter was granted him by the same bishop in which Tatenhill is described as 'homini nostro' (ibid., p. 13). Willelmus de Brenneth dictus Tatenel who witnessed a charter by Hugh Herock, burgess of Elgin, in 1286 (REM., p. 284), is probably the William de Tattenel who rendered homage in 1296 (Bain, II, p. 195).
