The surname Quennell has a fascinating history, particularly among those of Irish descent. The name is derived from the Gaelic word "Cúinneal," which means "candle." This suggests that the original bearers of the surname were likely involved in the production or selling of candles.
The Quennell family can trace its roots back to County Clare in Ireland. They were part of the Gaelic aristocracy and held significant land holdings in the region. The surname was anglicized to "Quennell" during the English colonization of Ireland, reflecting the influence of the British ruling class on Irish society.
During the Irish diaspora in the 19th century, many Quennell families emigrated to other parts of the world, particularly to the United States, Canada, and Australia. They sought better economic opportunities and a chance at a better life. As a result, the surname is now found in various countries around the globe, with significant populations in these three nations.
Today, descendants of the Quennell family continue to cherish their Irish heritage. They take pride in their ancestors' resilience and determination, which allowed them to overcome adversity and build new lives in foreign lands. The Quennell surname serves as a reminder of a rich ancestral legacy and the enduring spirit of the Irish people.
