 Magner Surname
Merrick Sims of Australia has suggested the name Magnol as a possible source of Magnel but Morlet, the etymologist, sees Magnol as a variation of Magnou, both having the Germanic origin Maginwulf, "strong/fierce wolf." Our word magnolia is based on the name of the French botanist Pierre Magnol (1638-1715).
So Magner, Magener, Magnier, Magnol, Magnor share a common linguistic root magn- with different secondary formants, four of which devolved into the noun agent suffix -er/-or.
Magnor on Irish soil could also result from a simple hearing mistake; the Irish brothers, Michael and Thomas Magner, were recorded by a court clerk as Magnors at their 1822 trial for Insurrection (see Irish Sent to Australia on this web site).
