The history of the last name Cabbell

The surname Cabbell originated in England during the medieval period. It is derived from the Old French word "cabelle," which means a tax or duty. This suggests that the name may have been given to someone who collected taxes or tolls, or perhaps lived near a location where such duties were collected.

One of the earliest recorded references to the name Cabbell can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, which was a comprehensive survey of land and property ownership in England commissioned by William the Conqueror. This early mention indicates that the name was already in use by the late 11th century.

In the 13th century, a person named John de Cabbell was documented in the Pipe Rolls of Gloucestershire, which were records of financial transactions maintained by the English Exchequer. The use of the "de" prefix in this instance suggests that John de Cabbell may have hailed from a specific location associated with the name.

Another notable Cabbell from history was William Cabbell, who was born in Gloucestershire in 1509. He was a member of the English gentry and served as a Member of Parliament for Gloucester in 1547.

During the 16th century, a family of Cabbells resided in the village of Buckingham, Buckinghamshire. This may have been related to the old place name "Cabbell's End," which was a hamlet near Buckingham.

In the 17th century, Sir Sampson Cabbell, born in 1652, was a prominent English politician and landowner who served as a Member of Parliament for Boston in Lincolnshire.
