Takle Family History

Takle Surname Meaning

Probably from an Anglo-Norman French given name Takel or Tachel, in origin a Continental Germanic name Dacil(us) *Tacil(us). This was a pet form of names in Dag- Tag- ‘day’ such as Dagobert 1086 in Domesday Book (Gloucs).

The double diminutive form Dachelin is recorded in 1086 in Domesday Book (Dorset) and as the surname of Alicia Dacolyn 1346 in Feudal Aids (Beds).

The earliest known bearer of the surname is a Lincs knight with the forename Samson, a particular favourite among Bretons, many of whom were given estates in Lincs after the Conquest.

This tells against Reaney's suggestion that the source of the name is an unrecorded Old English given name *Tæcela, though it remains a theoretical possibility.
