The history of the last name Normil

The surname NORMIL has its origins in France, emerging in the late 12th century during the Norman period. It is derived from the Old French word "normil," which referred to a small, rounded object or a decorative finial found on the tops of buildings or furniture.

This name was particularly prevalent in the northern regions of France, such as Normandy and Brittany, where many skilled artisans and craftsmen were involved in the construction and embellishment of churches, castles, and other notable structures. The earliest recorded instances of the name can be found in municipal records and tax rolls from these areas.

One of the earliest known references to the NORMIL surname appears in the 1292 census records of Rouen, where a certain Jean NORMIL is listed as a master woodcarver. This profession was highly respected at the time, and those bearing this surname were likely involved in the intricate woodworking and decorative arts.

During the 14th century, the NORMIL name gained prominence when a renowned sculptor and architect, Pierre NORMIL (c. 1310 - 1385), was commissioned to design and oversee the construction of several notable Gothic cathedrals in Normandy, including the celebrated Rouen Cathedral.

As the surname spread throughout France, it also appeared in various spellings, such as NORMILL, NORMILLE, and NORMILH, reflecting regional dialects and variations in pronunciation. In the 16th century, a branch of the NORMIL family settled in the Champagne region, where a notable member, Jacques NORMIL (1548 - 1612), became a respected vintner and merchant.

Another prominent figure bearing this surname was Antoine NORMIL (1675 - 1742), a skilled engraver and metalsmith from Paris who was commissioned to create intricate silverware and jewelry for the French nobility and royal court during the reign of Louis XIV.

As the centuries passed, the NORMIL name continued to be associated with skilled artisans, craftsmen, and artists, reflecting the family's longstanding tradition in the decorative arts and architectural embellishments.
