Bagnall in my family tree
English: habitation name from a place in Staffordshire, so called from the Old English personal name Badeca, Baduca (from a short form of the various compound names with the first element beadu battle) + Old English halh nook, recess or holt wood.
Variants: Bagnell, Bagenal, Bagnold.
An Irish family by the name of Bagenal can be traced to Sir Nicholas Bagenal (died 1586), who fled from England circa 1539, after he had killed a man in a brawl. He was later pardoned, and his descendants rose to prominence, mainly through marriage into some of Ireland's leading families. They gave their name to Bagenalstown in County Carlow.
