The history of the last name Hutsell

The surname Hutsell is of English origin and can be traced back to the medieval period. It is believed to have originated from a place name, potentially derived from the Old English words "hut" and "sele," meaning a small dwelling or cottage.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name appears in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it is listed as "Hoteselle" in the county of Hertfordshire. This historical record suggests that the name may have initially referred to someone residing in a small hut or cottage.

During the 13th century, variations of the name, such as "Hutsell" and "Hutsill," began to appear in various parish records and tax rolls across England, particularly in the counties of Essex, Suffolk, and Norfolk.

Notable individuals bearing the surname Hutsell include John Hutsell (1520-1585), a prominent landowner and merchant from Norfolk, who played a role in the local government during the reign of Queen Elizabeth I. Another individual of note is William Hutsell (1675-1742), a renowned clockmaker from London, whose intricate timepieces were highly sought after by the aristocracy of the time.

In the 18th century, the surname Hutsell gained some prominence with the birth of Samuel Hutsell (1738-1812), a respected scholar and linguist who authored several works on ancient languages and translations. His son, Thomas Hutsell (1765-1833), followed in his footsteps and became a renowned poet and writer, contributing to various literary journals of the era.

During the 19th century, the name Hutsell found its way to the United States, with several families migrating from England and settling in various parts of the country. One notable American figure was James Hutsell (1845-1912), a prominent politician and lawyer from Ohio, who served as a member of the U.S. House of Representatives.
