The southall Surname
southall Name Meaning and History
English (chiefly West Midlands): habitational name from any of the
various places so called, from Old English suð ‘south’ +
halh ‘nook’, ‘recess’. The distribution of the surname in
Britain makes a Midlands origin likely: places called Southall in
Doverdale, Worcestershire, and Billingsley, Shropshire, are possible
sources.
