Knoll is English in Origin.
Knoll is an English word-name from Old English cnoll, carried into Middle English as knol/knolle, meaning “rounded hill” or “hillock.” It belongs to a wider Germanic family denoting lumps or mounds, reflected in German Knolle (“tuber”) and Dutch knol. As a surname, Knoll and its kin identified someone who lived by a small hill or hailed from a place named for one, a common topographic pattern visible across medieval English records and place-names.
As a given name, Knoll is a rare modern transfer with a clean, outdoorsy profile, fitting contemporary tastes for nature and surname names in the English-speaking world. Variants and related forms include Knol, Knowle, and Knowles; meaning-adjacent choices include Knox. The name’s sense of a modest rise in the landscape lends associations of steadiness, groundedness, and quiet elevation.
