Thurrold Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
A Teutonic personal name of great antiquity, which has given rise to a family name very widely spread, and much varied in spelling and pronunciation, the principal forms being Thorold, Turrold, Tyrell, Torel, Turrell, Tourelle, Torill, Tourle, Turl, &c., &c., &c. It comes to us from Normandy, where Turold was one of the preceptors of William the Conqueror, and his Grand-Constable at the time of the Conquest. The name of Turold occurs upon the Bayeux Tapestry, designating one of the ambassadors dispatched by the Norman Duke to Guy, Earl of Ponthieu, and it is supposed that the Turold there represented was the Grand-Constable. Dawson Turner's Tour in Normandy, ii. 104. This celebrated man gave his name to the town of which he was lord and founder, viz., Burgus Thoroldi, now Bourgtheroude, a few miles S.W. of Rouen. In Domesday, we find a Gilbert filius Turoldi among the tenants in chief of the counties of Worcester, Hereford, Cambridge, and Warwick; while an Ilbert filius Turoldi, held a like position in the second named shire. Whether these were sons of the Grand-Constable does not appear. This seems probable, though as there are many tenants called Turold in that record, it is not positively certain. Under Essex, appears one Walterus Tirelde, who is by some supposed to be the Walter Tirel who shot Rufus. Morant's Essex, i. 244.
THEROULDE: A French refugee family. The name is identical with Thorold.
