The Name "Yevel" or "Ewell" has many alternative
spellings. The "Ewell" Name in Western Europe
was origionally from Eastern Europe, long before
the collapse of the Roman Empire. The River "Ewell"
was given its Name by early "Ewell" immigrants who
ventured into Western Europe from Eastern Europe
over 1600 years ago. The Eastern families of "Ewell"
also have many derivative spellings for the Name,
which are distinctly different from those found
in Western Europe. One such Eastern derivation of
the Name is "Yevel" or "Yavel". The Name "Ewell"
itself is the oldest known "Western" derivation of a much
older Eastern derivation of the Name. One of the
early Eastern derivations of this Name is "Yevel".
The Name "Yevel", then, is older than the Name
"Ewell", which is the oldest Western European
derivation of the Name. Other Eastern derivations
of "Yevel" are "Yakavel", "Yawel", and "Kivel".
