Marshall

Surname or Lastname

English and Scottish

English and Scottish : status name or occupational name from Middle English, Old French maresc(h)al â€˜marshalâ€™. The term is of Germanic origin (compare Old High German marah â€˜horseâ€™, â€˜mareâ€™ + scalc â€˜servantâ€™). Originally it denoted a man who looked after horses, but by the heyday of medieval surname formation it denoted on the one hand one of the most important servants in a great household (in the royal household a high official of state, one with military responsibilities), and on the other a humble shoeing smith or farrier. It was also an occupational name for a medieval court officer responsible for the custody of prisoners. An even wider range of meanings is found in some other languages: compare for example Polish MarszaÅ‚ek (see Marszalek). The surname is also borne by Jews, presumably as an Americanized form of one or more like-sounding Jewish surnames.As the fourth chief justice of the U.S., John Marshall (1755â€“1835) was the principal architect in consolidating and defining the powers of the Supreme Court. He was a descendant of John Marshall of Ireland, who settled in Culpeper Co., VA, sometime before 1655.
