Mungal is of Scotish heritage
Various spellings: Mungall, Mungal, Mongle, Mungale, Munghale, Mungwale, Moungwele, Mungalle, Mungwel, Mungale

The Mungall family may have originated from Stirlingshire or Lanarkshire, Scotland.

Cornelius Fox & Eveline Mungal Fox are both buried at Carpenters Methodist Church in Blount Co., Tennessee.They are in the front of the cemetery with mountain stone markers[no writing on the markers].They are the parents of Martha Diane Fox,wife of Andrew Baker Carpenter.This information was related to me many years ago by their daughter Bertie Carpenter Hanna[sister to my grandermother-Minnie Belle Carpenter Giffin.

This Scottish surname of MUNGALL is from Mungall in the parish of Falkirk, Stirlingshire.

Some of my thoughts and observations on the surname Mungall by Tom Mungall.
Revised July 16, 2000
The Scottish surname Mungall is quite ancient being first on record in the year AD 1133. According to the Annals of Dunfermline Abbey, "Richard Mongal was elected Prior in the place of Peter, the deceased Prior, AD 1133". He died in 1148 while on pilgrimage to San Iago de Compostella, in Spain. He was the author of a small work, titled "The Lives of St. Bernard and Abelard".
According to George Black, in his work The Surnames of Scotland , Mungall originates in the parish of Falkirk, Stirlingshire, Scotland. Observing a map of the town of Falkirk I have noticed that Mungal is located in the north section of town just East of West Carron right in the middle of a railroad yard and extending South through the Carron Ironworks to Mungalend. There is also a Mungal Cottage which is a part of what is known as the Mungal Farm. (Photo shown below.)
According to the book, The History of Stirlingshire by William Nimmo published in 1777, makes reference to the name Mungal. When discussing the First Battle of Falkirk he states, "...The eminence upon which the Scots were drawn must have been the ridge of ground east of Mungal, and which is distinctly seen from the heights of Callendar...". (Page 167.)
According to W. C. MacKenzie's Scottish Place-Names, "The common Gaelic word for a bog is M`oine. (In topography, it is generally 'mon' or 'mun'...)" He later says that, "Mungall may mean a stony moss;...".
The surname Mungle is often associated with the surname Mungall as the same name but, with simply a different spelling. However, Mungle appears to be a a combinaton of the gaelic word for a moss or peat-bog 'mun'as a prefix and the suffix the Old Norse word 'gil' which is often rendered as 'gle' meaning ravine or valley. However, I have never found a place in Scotland bearing this name. Indeed it may be another spelling of the name Mungall and if so, might possibly shed some light on the meaning of the name. Indeed, Mungall in Falkirk does seem to fit this discription while W. C. MacKenzie's delineation of the place name does not because it is anything but stony.
Place-Names Of Scotland by James B. Johnson, BD agrees with George Black that the name emanates from Falkirk. He believes the name is probably Gaelic, moine calla, meaning `bog of loss', or `bog of disaster'. He also mentions that the word gall or gaill could mean a stranger.
The gaelic "mun a' gael" could mean "stranger in the moss" according to Ranald McIntyre. The area of Mungal would have been a marshy area resulting from the overflow of the Carron River. My thoughts include that Mungall could also be from Moinegael meaning a Highlander or Gaelic speaker in the moss or Moinegall meaning a Lowlander or non-gaelic speaker in the moss.
According to John Reid: "Mungal as a place-name:". Gaelic 'moin' a moss becomes 'mun' in place-names. For the second element I would propose Gaelic 'gobhal', pronounced 'go-ll' [there's often many more letters in written Gaelic than there are sounds]. This word means 'fork'. If you stand on top of the hill at Mungalhead and look down into the valley through which the Mungal Burn runs you can see that stream being joined by another, now called the Tophill Burn. The junction of the two creates a distinctive fork. It is equally apparent that the area around this forms quite a large bowl and, prior to modern drainage, would have been very marshy. Therefore, I would reconstruct Mungal as 'moin n'gobhal' - the moss of the fork." I find this explanation of Mr. Reid's to be the most satisfying one so far.
According to the Rev. George Dale, a descendant of Robert Mungall of Linhouse, 1797, the family is descended from William De Mungall (William de Mongale) a Scottish Baron. His lands were to the West of Falkirk and are still commemorated there in the name of at least one street, Mungallhead Road and an iron foundry, Mungall Mill. This William signed the "Ragmans Roll" in 1292 (the correct date is AD 1296.) This William de Mungall or Mongale (as is the spelling on the "Ragmans Roll") was a captain of one of William Wallace's Schiltrons at the Battle of Falkirk where he was slain. His sword is still in the possession of the Mungall family. The Sword is inscribed: "REX FER". A photograph of this sword is located in my Scottish photo album.
Alternate spellings include: Mungal, Mongall, Mungle, Mongle & Mungaw.
The name is pronounced: Mun-Gall with the emphasis on the last syllable. However, I understand that some bearing the surname pronounce it with more emphasis on the first syllable and contract the second resulting in MUN- gle.
This photograph below is part of the area called Mungal and shows the Mungal Farm Cottage and some of the lands of Mungal. Many thanks to Ranald McIntyre of Falkirk, Scotland who took this wonderful picture!

NOTES by Laura Clinton Vasut, November 2002:
It appears that Mahala died sometime after Evaline’s birth in 1842 and William remarried Nancy Etherton in 1845. The first child listed in the Bible, possibly Martha but hard to read, is not listed in this household. Mary, Louisa, and Evaline probably all belong to Mahala and the last child Jane probably belongs to Nancy. It is likely that Hannah is the mother of William.
Mary Ann Jenkins married Wesley Bodine around 1855 and was widowed. She married my gg-grandfather Calvin Clinton on September 4, 1859. Mary died January 11, 1905 and she is buried in Mount Pleasant Cemetery beside Calvin.
