Name Meaning
English: metonymic occupational name from Middle English tred(de) ‘tread, walk, trample’ + wel(le) ‘well’, perhaps for a fuller or someone who trod grapes for wine production. Fulling was the process by which newly woven cloth was cleaned and shrunk by the use of heat, water, and pressure (from treading) before finally being stretched and laid out to dry on tenter hooks.
