O sobrenome Wells é de origem inglesa. Este nome é um nome topográfico para alguém que viveu perto de um riacho ou nascente; derivado do inglês antigo "well (a)". O nome significa "local no poço". O atte singular, del, de la Welle é muito comum em fontes medievais e sobrevive em Attwell 'morador da nascente ou riacho', mas o Well moderno parece ter sido completamente absorvido por Wells. O sobrenome Wells, salvo em casos particulares, não tem nada a ver com a cidade de Wells, no oeste da Inglaterra. O 's' final é adicionado em comum com outros sobrenomes ingleses monossilábicos, como: Styles, Brooks, Bridges. O nome data do século XI onde foi registrado um Toke de Welles em arquivos históricos. O nome foi trazido para a América por imigrantes ingleses. Um dos primeiros antepassados ​​a trazer esse nome para a América é o de Daniel Wells, um jardineiro, ex-Suffolk
