Senecal Family History
Senecal Name Meaning
French (Sénécal): status name for a seneschal, an
official in a large household who was responsible for overseeing
day-to-day domestic arrangements, from Old French seneschal (of
Germanic origin, composed of the elements sini ‘old’ +
scalc ‘servant’). The seneschal of a royal or ducal household
in the Middle Ages was a very powerful man indeed, often having
control over the administration of justice, among other things. In
some cases the surname may have originated as nickname for an
officious man.
