Metherell names beginning with Meth annd Math tend to be Cornish or Devonian. Names with the spelling of Motherell have basically come out of Scotland and have in certain case been misspelt from the named place of MOTHERWELL.
If you examine all the Counties IGI Records for England, Wales, Scotland and Isle of Man, plus Channel Islands.
You would reach this conclusion by percentage and targeting of names to Registration Districts.
Hope this helps. See Staverton response for place name details regarding DoomsDay Book listing of Metherell, nr Staverton, South Devon.
