Martell

Martell is an English surname derived from the medieval given name Martin, which in turn is derived from the Latin Martinus, which is derived from Mars, the Roman god of war. The surname can be traced back to the Norman Conquest of 1066 in England, first recorded as a family seat at Abbess Roding in Essex.

As with many English surnames, there are numerous alternative spellings including: Martel, Mortel, and Moretell.

Of note, this branch of the family may be of French Huguenot heritage through Charles Martell's father or grandfather (depending on the story).
