Origin of Rowell Total Records: 3  Origin of Rowell, Meaning of Rowell Origin: Crowell is derived from the Old English 'crawe', meaning 'crow's spring'. In fact, there is a Crowell,Oxfordshire,England which is near to the source of a spring located along an old Roman roadway. First families to America used the Crowe surname and later added the 'L'. Under heated debate is whether some Crowells are descended from the Oliver Cromwell and dropped the 'W'. In my opinion, Cromwell's son has proven to have lived, died, & buried in England.
