Hall (surname)
Hall is a common surname of English origin. The name was used to indicate the main occupation of the individual, in a role such as a servant or chamberlain. Hall is the 22nd most common surname in the United Kingdom. Within the United States, it is ranked as the 26th most common surname.
In recent history, the Halls were one of the sixty major riding families of the Scottish Marches and were involved reiving as other border clans were. As with all Reiving families, they would consider themselves loyal to neither the English or the Scots, the family name holding allegiance over all else. See Border Reivers.
In England the surname of Hall originates in 1090 AD when Lincolnshire nobleman Arthur FitzWilliam changed his name to Arthur Hall to distinguish himself from his older brother of the same name.
