Descendants of John Waugh

 

The name ' BELL'

 

The Borders family Bell may well descend from a Norman follower of David I who reigned until 1153 and was, by the end of the thirteenth century,

well established in Dumfriesshire, Berwickshire and Perthshire. The name may derive from the French ‘Bel,’ meaning fair or handsome. Since the

 derivation is descriptive, common ancestry cannot be assumed for all those bearing the surname.
