Name Meaning
English: habitational name primarily from Southall in Billingsley (Shropshire) and Southall in Doverdale (Worcestershire), but occasionally also from other places so named, including Southall in North Owersby (Lincolnshire). The Worcestershire placename probably derives from Old English sūth ‘south, southern’ + halh ‘nook, corner of land’; the other placenames may share the same etymology, but alternatively may derive from Old English sūth + hall ‘hall, large residence’.
