The trussell Surname
trussell Name Meaning and History
English (East Midlands): of uncertain origin; perhaps from Old
French troussel, Middle English trussel in the sense
‘packet’, and hence an occupational nickname for a peddler, or from
the same word in the sense ‘stamp’, ‘mould (for stamping coins)’, and
hence an occupational name for a minter. Alternatively, it may be from
a nickname representing a variant of Thrussell, from Middle
English throstle ‘thrush’, given probably to a cheerful person,
the bird being noted for its cheerful song.
