The word "Tyrrel" is believed to have originated as a surname in medieval England. The etymology of the name is uncertain, and it has various suggested origins and meanings.
One theory is that "Tyrrel" originated from the Old French word "tirel", which means a small hawk or falcon. This suggests that the name may have initially been a nickname for someone who resembled or had some association with a hawk or falcon.
Another possibility is that "Tyrrel" is derived from the Old English word "tīr", which means glory or honor, and the suffix "-el", which means little. This interpretation suggests that the name could mean "little glory".
Additionally, there are suggestions that "Tyrrel" may have derived from the Old Norse personal name "Þórir", which was brought to England by Scandinavian settlers.
