The history of the last name Nattiel

The surname NATTIEL is of English origin, tracing its roots back to the medieval period in the county of Yorkshire. It is believed to have derived from the Old English words "naet" meaning "stubborn" or "determined" and "hiel" meaning "hill" or "slope." This combination suggests that the name may have originally referred to someone who lived on a stubborn or difficult hill.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the NATTIEL surname can be found in the Yorkshire Pipe Rolls of 1297, where a certain Richard Nattiel is mentioned as a landowner in the village of Huddersfield. This suggests that the name was already established in the region by the late 13th century.

In the 15th century, the NATTIEL name appears in the Wakefield Court Rolls of 1437, where a John Nattiel is listed as a tenant farmer in the village of Sandal. This record provides evidence of the name's continued presence in the Yorkshire area during the medieval period.

During the reign of King Henry VIII in the 16th century, a notable figure named Thomas NATTIEL (1501-1568) served as a prominent merchant in the city of York. His trade activities and business dealings helped to establish the NATTIEL name as one associated with commerce and entrepreneurship.

In the 17th century, the NATTIEL surname can be found in the parish records of Dewsbury, Yorkshire, where a family by that name is recorded as landowners and farmers. One member of this family, William NATTIEL (1621-1692), achieved some local renown as a skilled blacksmith and metalworker.

Moving into the 18th century, the NATTIEL name appears to have spread beyond Yorkshire, with records indicating a branch of the family settling in the county of Lincolnshire. A notable figure from this period is Elizabeth NATTIEL (1756-1834), who was a respected midwife and herbalist in the town of Louth.

As the NATTIEL surname continued to disperse across England in the 19th century, it became associated with various professions and occupations. For example, James NATTIEL (1812-1894) was a successful merchant and ship owner based in the port city of Liverpool, while Margaret NATTIEL (1836-1919) gained recognition as a talented artist and painter in the city of Manchester.
