Gem. te A., ovl. 1619 [Dillen van-1941, p 114]. • English, Scottish, Irish, German, and Scandinavian: from Middle English hall (Old English heall), Middle High German halle, Old Norse h ll all meaning 'hall' (a spacious residence), hence a topographic name for someone who lived in or near a hall or an occupational name for a servant employed at a hall. In some cases it may be a habitational name from places named with this word, which in some parts of Germany and Austria in the Middle Ages also denoted a salt mine. Hall is one of the commonest and most widely distributed of English surnames, bearing witness to the importance of the hall as a feature of the medieval village. The English name has been established in Ireland since the 14th century, and, according to MacLysaght, has become numerous in Ulster since the 17th century [DAFN, vol. 2, p 116]. | |
