Rockwell Family History
Rockwell Name Meaning
English: habitational name from places in Buckinghamshire and
Somerset. The former was earlier Rockholt, and was so named
from Old English hroc ‘rook’ (perhaps a byname) +
holt ‘wood’. The second element of the Somerset place is
probably (and more predictably) Old English well(a) ‘spring’,
‘stream’ (see Well).
