Name Meaning
English:
topographic or habitational name from Middle English don, dun(ne) ‘dark’ + wel(le) ‘water source, stream’. The name may be topographic, denoting someone who lived ‘(by the) dark stream’, or a habitational name from a place so named, such as Dunwell in Ugborough (Devon). It is likely that many instances of the surname derive from a lost or as yet unidentified place in Yorkshire.
from a Middle English continuation of the Old English personal name Dūnweald, from dūn ‘hill’ + weald ‘power’.
