Last Name COGSWELL

Summary/Contribute


Meaning Local: Of Coggeshall, a parish in the diocese of St. Albans. Wherever a monastery was founded it drew together a community, and this in the surname period was likely to foster a local nomenclature. The early Coggeshals by corruption became Cogswell and Coxwell. The surname was confined to a limited radius of the place, which was of considerable importance for a longest time.
Local: Derived from the town of Coggeshall, in Essex, England; 'Cog,' a small boat, and 'shoal,' a place where the water is shallow, and where fish abound, a fishing-place.
Origin English, Irish
