Name Meaning
English: from the Middle English female personal name Pernel, Parnell (Old French Peronel(le)) from Latin Petronilla, a feminine pet form of the Latin personal name Petronius. Petronilla was the name of a supposed early Christian saint and martyr. This surname was also brought to Ireland from Cheshire in the 17th century, by a family who had been supporters of Cromwell's Parliamentarians during the English Civil War. Charles Stewart Parnell, who founded the Irish Parliamentary Party in 1882, was a descendant of this family. See also Pennell .
