Old photograph of the Norwell family from Glasgow, Scotland. The Norwell surname is thought to be derived from the name of a place in England named Northwell. The name of this place combines the old English term for " north " with other geographic features such as " welle, " meaning " a well or spring. " There are also no doubt instances of this name that are derived from a shortened form of the Scottish name Normanville.
