Is Marshall British or American?
Marshall is a boy’s name of French and British origin. It is an occupational surname that translates to “caretaker of the horses” and originates as a title from Norman French. The Marshall surname is English in origin, and thought to have arrived with the Norman conquest, appearing in records as early as the 1100s. Marshall is believed to be an occupational surname, coming from the same root as the French ‘marechal’ (farrier or horse-servant).
