 History: The Cocquiel family (Coquiel), known as Le Merchier, is from Tournaisis.
The Emperor Charles V ennobled the brothers Michel and Nicolas de Cocquiel, sons of Caron Cocquiel and Jehenne Carpentier dit du Bos, by letters patent registered in Toledo on January 10, 1539.
A branch was established in Antwerp at the beginning of the sixteenth century and another in London.
 Louis Charles Joseph de Cocquiel (1765-) and Eugène-Arnould de Cocquiel de Terherleir (1798-1844) obtained recognition of hereditary nobility under the United Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1822, with the title of knighthood for them and all their male descendants, and with permission to add de Terherleir to the surname for Eugène-Arnould.
