The history of the last name Trimuel

The surname TRIMUEL is of Anglo-Saxon origin, emerging in England during the medieval period. It is believed to be derived from the Old English words "trym" meaning "firm" or "strong" and "wielle" meaning "stream" or "spring." This suggests the name may have originated as a descriptive term for someone who lived near a robust stream or spring.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name dates back to the Domesday Book of 1086, where a landowner named Trimuel is mentioned as holding property in Oxfordshire. Another early reference can be found in the Pipe Rolls of Lincolnshire from 1195, which lists a Robert Trimuel as a taxpayer.

In the 13th century, a notable figure bearing the name was Sir William Trimuel, a knight who fought alongside King Edward I during the Welsh Wars. He was born around 1250 and is known to have participated in the siege of Caerphilly Castle in 1265.

During the 14th century, the TRIMUEL name appeared in various records across England, including the Subsidy Rolls of Worcestershire from 1327, which lists a John Trimuel as a taxpayer. In the same century, a Roger Trimuel was mentioned in the Feet of Fines for Essex in 1382.

The 16th century saw the emergence of a prominent TRIMUEL family in Gloucestershire. Thomas Trimuel, born in 1520, was a wealthy landowner and served as a magistrate in the county. His son, Richard Trimuel (1548-1612), was a successful merchant and is recorded as having donated funds for the construction of a church in his hometown.

Other notable individuals with the surname include Henry Trimuel (1674-1738), a renowned clockmaker from London, and John Trimuel (1711-1789), a prominent architect who designed several notable buildings in Bath, Somerset.
