Have looked this up on www.britishsurnames.co.uk and they suggest various other spellings, such as Fitall, Vitale, Vitaleo which could indicate Italian background ?

I found Fattles in my family tree, our Surname is Faultless and when you get back to the 1400's it changes to Fattles... So it makes sense that it could be a simple name change . Just wondered what it meant (maybe an old profession) or as someone suggested in earlier posts "It could have NO Meaning at all"
