The surname Abell has a rich history, particularly within Irish descent. The name has its roots in the Gaelic language, derived from the Irish surname "Ó Beolláin" or "Mac Beolláin," which translates to "descendant of Beollán." The Gaelic name Beollán is believed to mean "little lively one" or "small one."
The Abell surname is primarily associated with County Limerick in Ireland, where the Ó Beolláin sept was prominent. Septs were kinship groups, and the Ó Beolláin sept was known for their influence and contributions to the local community. They were part of the larger Dál gCais tribal grouping, which held significant power in the area during medieval times.
Over time, some members of the Ó Beolláin sept anglicized their surname to Abell, to adapt to the English naming conventions that became more prevalent. This anglicization occurred during the period when English influence in Ireland grew, leading to changes in language, culture, and naming practices.
Today, individuals with the surname Abell of Irish descent can trace their ancestry back to the Ó Beolláin sept of County Limerick. The name Abell serves as a testament to the Gaelic roots and the enduring legacy of the Irish people.
