The history of the last name Cutshall

The surname Cutshall is believed to have originated in England during the medieval period. It is thought to be derived from the Old English words "cot" meaning a small dwelling or shelter, and "scealu" meaning a hut or temporary shelter. This suggests that the name may have originally referred to a person who lived in a small, humble abode or perhaps a woodsman or forester who lived in a simple hut in the forest.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as "Coteshale". This entry likely refers to a place name, possibly a village or hamlet, from which the surname later emerged. Other early spellings include "Cotshall" and "Cutshall".

In the 13th century, a record mentions a John de Coteshale, who may have been a landowner or tenant in the area that eventually became known as Codsall in Staffordshire. This village name is thought to be derived from the same Old English roots as the surname.
