I'm trying to research my family
Does anyone know if the last name "Kell" is of Irish decendant?
Kell is a location in Ireland. Note, forex, the famous Book of Kells. So the name is almost certainly an indication of ancestry stemming to that location.
A lot of Irish names have gotten mangled by Anglo Saxon mispronunciation and misspelling.
Reply:It's most likely Irish but could possibly be Scottish (there was a lot of migration between Scotland and Ireland and the same groups sometimes settled in both areas) or a shortened version of some other Northern European name.
Reply:I think Kelly is, pretty darn sure it is.
Reply:I dated a girl a long time ago with the last name kell, I think it was more scottish. Well half scottish, half crazy.
Reply:kell is either swedish, or norwegian
