According to the Mennonite Encyclopedia, Wall is a Mennonite family name of probable Dutch origin. The author Horst Penner, in Die ost-und westpreussischen Mennoniten, says unequivocally that the Walls come from Holland. Originally the name was spelled "de Waal" as noted in records of the Mennonite congregation at Danzig, West Prussia. Among the West Frisian Islands off the west coast of Holland is the island of Texel, the largest of this group of islands. A prominent city on the island of Texel is De Waal. The city of De Waal was home to many Anabaptists and had a Mennonite congregation before 1550. Thus it seems highly probable that the city of De Waal on the island of Texel is the origin of our family name Wall.
