The Hall surname in historical dictionaries

Patronymica Britannica (1860)

HALL. A manor house. In medieval documents, Atte Halle, Del Hall, De Aula, &c. The principal apartment in all old mansions was the hall, and in feudal times it was a petty court of justice as well as the scene of entertainment. The chief servitor when the lord was resident, or the tenant Avhen he was non-resident, would uatui-ally acquire such a surname ; and hence its frequency. Nearly oOO traders so called appear in the Loud. Direct.
