Jekyll

Jekyll is a name famously used for boys all over the world. The meaning of Jekyll is 'generous Lord'. The name Jekyll originates from the historic Anglo-Saxon culture of Britain. Jekyll is derived from the old English phrase 'generous Lord'. The surname Jekyll, which comes under the umbrella of patronymic surnames, was given to an individual who was the son of Jukel. The old Breton name Judical was the ancestor of the twin name Juhel and Gicquel, which were found in documents of medieval English as Gikel and Jukel. The Christian name Judhael de Totnes is still used as a forename in Devonshire, where it is spelled Jewell. Elsewhere, it is spelled Jekyll and Joel. In the Domesday Book of 1086, the ancient Latin variants of the name were recorded in two entries in Cheshire. These entries were Judicaelis and Judichel uenator. It was in these two records that the family Jekyll was first discovered. Gykell, Jukel de Jertheburc was noted in Lincolnshire in 1170 and in 1182. Some famous people named Jekyll are Dame Agnes Jekyll, Gertrude Jekyll, Sir Joseph Jekyll, and Olga Jekyll.
