The surname Gell has its origins in Ireland, where it can be traced back to ancient times.
The name is derived from the Gaelic word "gall," meaning "stranger" or "foreigner." It is believed that the Gell family originally hailed from Scotland and migrated to Ireland, settling in various parts of the country.
During the medieval period, the Gell surname was predominantly found in County Cork, which is located in the southern region of Ireland. The Gell family were known for their involvement in agriculture and landownership, playing a prominent role in the local community.
Over time, the Gell name spread to other parts of Ireland, including County Kerry and County Tipperary. The family established themselves as respected members of these communities, engaging in various professions such as merchants, tradesmen, and skilled craftsmen.
With the influx of Irish immigrants to other countries, particularly during the 19th century, many members of the Gell family emigrated to places like the United States, Canada, and Australia. They sought better opportunities and a new life in these foreign lands, carrying their surname and Irish heritage with them.
Today, the Gell surname is still found in Ireland and in various parts of the world, serving as a reminder of the family's Irish roots and their journey across borders.
