The name Scovil, Scovill, Scoville, and Scovel originated in Normandy as Escoville after the town of Escoville, Normandy. The earliest identifiable ancestor of the Scovils was Ralph de Scoville (ca. 1194), a Knight from Wiltshire. John Scovell (1635-1700) was one of the first Scovils to come to America. He settled in Connecticut. His brother, Arthur, also came about the same time and his descendants also settled in Connecticut. Descendants live in Connecticut, Utah Kansas, and Canada.
John Scovell (ca. 1635-1696/1700) emigrated from Shapwick, County Dorset, England to Connecticut between 1654 and 1670. Descendants (chiefly spelling the surname Scovil or Scovill) lived in New England, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois and elsewhere.
