Name Meaning

Scottish (Lanarkshire): habitational name from Stirling (Stirlingshire), earlier Scots Strivilin (or similar), a name of uncertain etymology. It is recorded in the 12th century as Strevelin, and is perhaps from a river name. This surname is also common in northern Ireland (Antrim and Derry).
