Knowles Genealogy & History
Knowles is an English surname with two possible origins. First, as a topographical name, from the Old English cnoll or Middle English knol, both meaning a hilltop and used for people living on or near one. It also may come from the name Cnoll, which was applied to short, stout people. Knowles family history enters the books with the enrolling of Christopher Knolles in 1407, in the Register of the Freemen of the City of York. A few renowned members of Knowles genealogy are the first Chief Justice of the Bahamas Leonard Knowles, singer Beyonce Knowles, and two-term Alaska governor Tony Knowles.
