Tufnell Surname Meaning
From Where Does The Surname Originate? meaning and history
(English) belonging to Tuf(f)nell, early forms of which are lacking; but analogy points to an Anglo-Saxon *Tuffan-heall = ‘Tuffa’s Hall’ [Tuffan-, genit. of Tuffa (v. Tuff) + Old English heall, a hall]
In the XVII. century this name was spelt Tufnaile, and I am therefore rather inclined to take it au pied de la lettre (or rather at the end of the finger) and to consider "tough nail" as its etymon.
