Origin
Meaning and origin of Condoll
The surname Condoll is believed to have originated in England during the Middle Ages. It is thought to be derived from the Old English words "cund" meaning "known" or "famous" and "hyll" meaning "hill" or "mound," suggesting that the name may have referred to a well-known hill or location.
One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Condoll can be found in the Hundredorum Rolls, a census-like record compiled in England in the 13th century. The name is listed as "Cundhyll," indicating an early variation in spelling.
During the 14th century, the name appeared in various legal documents and land records in the counties of Gloucestershire and Wiltshire. In a deed dated 1387, a certain Robert Condoll is mentioned as a landowner in the village of Broad Blunsdon, near Swindon.
In the 16th century, the name Condoll was associated with the gentry class in the English counties of Somerset and Devon. Notable individuals from this period include Sir John Condoll (c. 1520 - 1592), a member of the landed gentry who served as a justice of the peace in Somerset.
As the centuries progressed, the Condoll family spread to other parts of Britain and beyond. In the late 18th century, a branch of the family migrated to the American colonies, with records showing a William Condoll (1752 - 1825) settling in Virginia and later fighting in the Revolutionary War.
Throughout the 19th century, the Condoll name was well-represented in various professions and fields. Mary Condoll (1818 - 1892) was a renowned educator who founded several schools for girls in London. Another notable figure was Charles Condoll (1842 - 1910), a respected architect whose works can still be seen in cities like Manchester and Liverpool.
In more recent times, the Condoll surname has been carried by individuals from various walks of life, including academics, artists, and public figures. One such example is Professor Evelyn Condoll (1926 - 2018), a renowned linguist and scholar of ancient languages who taught at Oxford University for over four decades.

The Census Bureau groups responses into six broad categories: White, Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino, Asian and Pacific Islander, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Two or More Races. When a category has too few respondents for a given surname, the Bureau suppresses the figure to protect individual privacy, which is why some names show fewer than six slices.
