Neel History
Neil is a medieval given name which means "Champion" and evolved into an Irish, Scottish, and English surname. It is derived from the given name of Irish origin --Niall-- and was brought toEngland by the Scandinavians. Neill, Neild, Neele, Neel, Neeld, Niall, Niell, Nield, Niel, Nihell, Nihill are variations. Neal is an English patronymic name, a variant of the name Neil. This is the way it is usually spelled in Southern and Central England, and is taken from the Middle English form of the name Neel. Neale and Neall are variations. I'm hoping to do a complete one name study on the Neel families. I have been told that, regardless of the surname spelling, all of the Neel's are related. If this is true then I have my work cut out for me. I have reason to believe that the Neel families in America descended from the O'Neill Royal Family of Ulster, Ireland; I have yet to find a strong link to the O'Neill Clan. Nonetheless, one can still dream of having "blue blood" running through their veins.
