Irish, an Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Cearbhaill or Mac Cearbhaill, 'descendant (or son) of Cearbhall'. Cearbhall comes from Old Irish Cerball, probably from cerb 'pointed, sharp, cutting', and was borne by several medieval Irish kings. In England and Scotland it can also be a variant of Carrell.
Spellings and related forms: Ó Cearbhaill, Mac Cearbhaill, Carrol, Caroll, Carol, Carrell.
Follows the traditional reading of Cearbhall as 'sharp, cutting' or 'hacking', shown as a working tool rather than a weapon.
Most surnames have no single "family crest". In heraldry, a coat of arms belonged to one person and passed down one line of descent. Sites that sell "the Carroll coat of arms" usually show the arms of one historic family that shared the name. Ours is different on purpose: an original design built from what the name means, which any Carroll can own honestly.

No. Coats of arms were granted to individual people, not to everyone who shares a surname, so there is no single Carroll coat of arms that every Carroll can claim. This crest is our own original design. The shield shows an axe in a chopping block, chosen from the meaning of the name.
