Orril is used as a family name or surname in England. It is 5 characters long in length.
Family name Orril is form of Oriel. In a learned dissertation on this architectural term, by the late William Hamper, Esq., F.S.A., five different meanings are attached to it, viz:
"I. A pent-house.
II. A porch attached to any edifice.
III. A detached gate-house.
IV . An upper story.
V. A loft.
VI. A gallery for Minstrels.
The editor of the Glossary of Architecture is of opinion, that the bold bay-rin dows still called "Oriels" gave name to the various buildings, enumerated by Hamper.
Oriel College, Oxford, was first founded by King Edward II., but Edward III. bestowing on the provost and scholars "a large messuage then called La Oriole," the community removed to it, leaving their old habitation of Tackley's Inn. "This large messuage," says Hamper, "must have been distinguished by some stately porch or vestibule of sufficient importance to give an appellation to the entire edifice." The original bearer of the surname was probably a servitor in some college or great mansion. The name itself may rank with Gatehouse, Drawbridge, Kitchen, etc.
