What Does the Name Caswell Mean?
Caswell is an English habitational name meaning "cress spring" or "spring where cress grows." It comes from Old English cærse "cress" and wella "spring, stream." The name was originally a place name, and people who lived at or came from such a place took it as a surname. Its meaning is topographical rather than personal.
Caswell Name History & Origins
The surname Caswell comes from an English place name of the same form, such as Caswell in Dorset. Habitational surnames arose in the Middle Ages, when a person who left a place called Caswell might be identified by it, and the byname could pass to later generations. Because the surname is taken from a place, early families using it were not necessarily related; the same name could arise independently at more than one place or within separate branches of a local family.
The surname is long established in southwestern England, especially in Devon and Somerset, and it also appears in other English counties. From the surname, Caswell later came into use as a given name in the English-speaking world, generally without a change in spelling.
