I know this name came from somewhere in Britian but I don't know where or what time it appeared the name has been, as far as my knowledge, in my family since WW1 or sometime before it every male on my dads side of the family has Arundel as a second middle name and in every generation there is at least one Seymour Arundel I would appreciate any help from anybody.

According to Hanks & Hodges' A Dictionary of Surnames, there are two possible derivations for the English surname Arundel:
1. From a place name in Sussex, England, which possibly originally meant "horehound valley."
2. From a Norman French nickname originally meaning "little swallow" (the bird).
