Someone asked me the meaning of Parnell earlier today and I didn't know, but told them I'd find out. Unfortunately, it's not in thte databse and I have no information on it.

Does anyone know anything about it? Most importantly, its origin or meaning?

Thanks!

Though the most famous beare of this surname was Irish it is in fact English. I did read somewhere that the Irish Parnells were of Yorkshire origin.
A diminutive of Peter.
