Nervill is English, Norman French in Origin.
Nervill is a rare modern respelling of the English name Neville, ultimately from the Norman French toponym Neuville. The elements are Old French neuf "new" (from Latin novus) + ville "settlement, town," giving the meaning "new town/settlement." As with many Norman place-names, it became a hereditary surname in England after the Conquest and later a given name by transfer from the surname.
Usage centers in the English-speaking world, with prominence in the 19th and early 20th centuries; bearers such as British statesman Neville Chamberlain and novelist Nevil Shute helped normalize the given name. Today it is uncommon, and the Nervill spelling remains extremely rare, typically a phonetic or stylistic variant. Established variants include Neville, Nevil, Nevill, and Nevile; the original French form is Neuville. Short forms include Nev. Meaning across all spellings remains "new town," evoking fresh starts and settled community.
Nervill is a genuine rarity. In all, it appears just 1 time, across 1 country.
