FALLS Family History

Recorded as Fall, Falle, Faill, Falls, Fallis, Fallas, Faull, Fawle, and probably others, this is an English surname. It is either derived from the Olde English pre 7th century word 'falle', or it is locational from living at a place called Falaise in France, or perhaps Failand in Somerset, or from a number of topographical locations. In the latter case according to which part of the country a person lived ' falle' could have many different meanings including a water fall, a hillside, a place where rocks fell, or a cliffe.
