Powell Genealogy & History
Powell is an English surname with both English and Welsh origins. For Welsh, it comes from the patronymic version of the name Hywel, ap-Howell, and eventually these got slurred together to form Powell. As a solely English name, it descends from the patronymic form of Paul, from the Latin paulus, which means small. Powell family history starts with Philip ap Howel, who was entered in the Radnorshire Charter Rolls in 1285. Powell genealogy lays claim to quite a few notable people, such as Bush Defense Secretary Colin Powell, Nobel laureate in physics Cecil Powell, and Olympic track and field medalist Mike Powell.
