What does the name Kaidra mean and what is its origin?
I like it very much. I´ve known it when I was reading something about Laisha Hailey and its her sister´s name.
What does the name Kaidra mean and what is its origin?
I wasn't able to find it's orgin. they probably made it up. It is pretty though.
Reply:It sounds made up, maybe like a mixture of 2 other names.
The closest match I could find was "Caitria". That's an Irish form of the name Katherine.
...And "Katherine" is... From the Greek name Αικατερινη (Aikaterine). The etymology is debated: it could derive from the earlier Greek name ‘Εκατερινη (Hekaterine), which came from ‘εκατερος (hekateros) "each of the two"; it could derive from the name of the goddess HECATE; it could be related to Greek αικια (aikia) "torture"; or it could be from a Coptic name meaning "my consecration of your name".
...
I also found the name "Keturah"
Usage: Biblical, English
Other Scripts: קְטוּרָה (Hebrew)
Pronounced: ki-TOOR-a, kee-TYOOR-a [key]
Means: "incense" in Hebrew. In the Old Testament she was Abraham's wife after Sarah died.

Reply:I think Kaidra means oasis. It is Arabic.

What is the origin and meaning of my last name?
my last name is Rankin and i am curious about the origin and the meaning of my last name.
What is the origin and meaning of my last name?
Here is one possible origin of your name.
Surname: Rankin
This long-established surname is of early medieval English and Scottish origin, and was developed from the medieval male given name "Rankin", a diminutive form of the given name "Rand(e)", with the hypocoristic suffix "-kin". Rand itself is a short form of any of the various (originally) Germanic compound personal names with the first element "rand" (shield) rim, such as Randolf, with the second element "wolf", wolf. The diminutive form of the name is first recorded in Scotland, where Rankin de Fowlartoun is mentioned in Charters of the Royal Borough of Ayr in 1429. Early examples of the surname include: Reginald Ranekyn (1296, Sussex); Ralph Rankin (1301, Yorkshire); John Randekyn (1381, Suffolk); and in Scotland, John Rankyne, burgess of Glasgow in 1456. The surname has a long history in Scotland; it was found early in Ayrshire, where persons of the name were "small proprietors" before the end of the 16th Century. One John Rankin was vicar of Girwane in 1504, and another John Rankin was vicar of Girwane in 1504, and another John Rankin was a tenant under the bishop of Aberdeen in 1511. The christening of Jon(athan), son of Paull Rankin, was recorded at the Church of St. Nicholas, Aberdeen, on May 12th 1657. The first recorded spelling of the family name is shown to be that of Gilbert Reynkyn, which was dated 1273, in the "Hundred Rolls of Kent", during the reign of King Edward 1, known as "The Hammer of the Scots", 1272 - 1307.

Reply:Rankin Surname Origin
This name may be derived from the Danish Rank, right, upright, erect. If the name is Gaelic, it would come from Roinn, a promontory, share, or division, and Ceann, head; the head of the promontory, a name of place. Ranken, in the Dutch, signifies pranks, tricks.
Reply:Please do not be confused by the earlier poster, and info about Samuel Rankin.
Unless you do your own family, nothing proves that every Rankin in the US is going to be descended from him, just because he is the earliest one they have found. Your ancestor may have been someone else entirely, who came to the US, a hundred years after his.
Until you know for certain, WHO your ancestor is.. you cannot assume that he comes from the same place as someone else.
Reply:English Patronymic name from the early given name Raedwulf, which means 'shield wolf.' It was popular in England before the Norman Conquest. The name eventually became Radulf. Randolph and Randall are among the derivatives.
Rankin is the 1,006th most common name in the United States.
Our earliest known Rankin ancestor is Samuel Rankin. He was born in Ohio in the late 1700s and eventually settled in St. Helena Parish, Louisiana abt. 1818. His ancestors probably came from Ireland or Scotland.

What is the origin of the name linville?
Many people coming here are not interested in anything other than the historical origin of their surname, which is certainly their option.
On the other hand, most of us that have been doing research for any length of time, encourage new people to not be overly concerned about tracing a surname. Genealogy is focused on learning who the actual ancestors were (and sometimes, that can even turn out to be a different name entirely).
Research involves finding historical records and documentation for each generation. Obviously, when you get back into the 1800s or before, there wouldn't be anyone to ask anyway. Since you mention not knowing anyone on dad's side.. it would seem you have not been involved with his family. Records relating to living persons are restricted in many situations, to protect privacy rights. If possible to find the names of HIS parents (if they are dead), you can sometimes use them to pick up the trail in records that are open, such as cemetery, census, so forth.
Reply:Linville
Of English origin: probably a habitational name from a lost or unidentified place, perhaps in France. The surname is not found in present-day English records, but is recorded in Hampshire (also in the forms Lenvill, Linvel) in the 17th century. Perhaps it is an altered form of English Lindfield or Lingfield, habitational name from a place so called in Sussex, altered by false analogy with the alternation in Norman names between -ville and -field.

As for "Ports of Departure," 43 percent of all Linvilles left from either Liverpool, England, and Queenstown, Ireland, while 29 percent left from Copenhagen, Denmark, and, curiously enough, 29 percent entered the United States from Aspinwall, Panama. In 1920, the majority of Linvilles living in the United States (between 65 and 128) lived in Missouri, Kentucky, and Indiana.

What is the origin of the name Palacios?
the history of it and origin
What is the origin of the name Palacios?
Palacios is located in Matagorda County, nestled along the Tres Palacios Bay, an inland bay of Matagorda Bay, on the southern coast of Texas. Houston is approximately 110 miles to the northeast and Corpus Christi is approximately 110 miles to the southwest.
There is a legend that a Spanish ship was wrecked off the coast near Palacios. The sailors saw a mirage of three palaces, and swam toward the shore where the palaces seemed to be. Of course the palaces disappeared, but the name, Three Palaces (Tres Palacios in Spanish), did not disappear.
Matagorda County was organized in 1837 when Texas became a Republic. The area was ranch land and continued so until cotton began to be farmed. At the turn of the century, land developers moved into South Texas touting the climate, the access to navigable streams and the Gulf of Mexico, the land, and the network railroads available.
A real estate agent named W. C. Moore and others formed a corporation called The Texas Rice Development Company and developed an area in West Matagorda County, 19,400 acres, on Tres Palacios Bay. The area, called Bull Pasture, had been part of the famous Shanghai Pierce Ranch. A town was laid out at Hamilton Point in 1902 and named Tres Palacios (the Tres was later dropped).

Ancestry.Com wasn't too helpful.
Now, the "ch" in Italian is pronounced like a
"k" in English.
If the name was pronounced Stoot chee then in Italian it would have been spelled Stucci.
FamilySearch.org has some entries for both spellings. The Stucci were shown in Switzerland but part of Switzerland is Italian speaking. FamilySearch.org is free.
Now information in family trees found on any website must be taken as clues not as fact as most is not documented. Even if you see the same information over and over by different submitters, a lot of copying is being done. There are errors in those trees.
Rootsweb has some family trees for Stucchi, not many and a few for Stucci. Rootsweb is also free. When you get into Rootweb put the name under the World Connect block. Probe a name and it will take you to a screen giving you the email address of the submitter.

There are STUCCHIS on many databases on ancestry.com, which is a fee-paying site. This is where I located the above.
To add to the STUCCHI link to Italy, on the SSDI (social security death index) there is one SUCCHI death "Lorenzo STUCCHI: - states " Death: Aug 1983 - (U.S. Consulate), Italy" . I infer that this means he died in Italy. If you are linked to this family, this may make sense to you. If not, at the very least it shows the link to Italy.
I used an online Italian dictionary and although there is no translation for STUCCHI, there is the word "astuccio" - bag, kit, case...this could be a clue or not... http://www.freedict.com/onldict/ita.html (this is an easy to use online dictionary for 15 other languages, as well!)
Good luck...
Reply:It is probably a variation of another name....for example Stuchi or Stucki (I have some Stucki relatives in my family tree--originally from Switzerland.)
I went to http://www.familysearch.org and searched for Stuchi and found a lot from Switzerland and a handful in Italy.

Anybody know the origin of the Family name Tajan?
All I know is that it is pronounced as "Tah-han" and is of Spanish origin. When I did some searching online, the name was hard to trace back. I wanted to know what city did the name come from. I'm from the Philippines and I also have a Chinese herritage with a Chinese middle name "Yan" and I also searched that up but was hard because of the language differences.
Anybody know the origin of the Family name Tajan?
It's got some pretty diverse roots. I've found it in Lebanon, Turkey, Italy, France and Spain.
Figuring out its Spanish origins won't be easy, but this is what I was able to find:
Jose Tajan emigrated from Spain in 1929. He was born in the town of Mures.
Ludovina Tajan left Spain in 1954. Her records are too recent to be on the internet, but she flew out of Madrid.
The largest number of people I could find with that surname were actually French. It's impossible to tell if the name started in Spain and went to France, started in France and went to Spain...or if it started in each of the countries independently of the others.
You'll need to search records in the Philippines to figure out when the name arrived in the country. Then see if you can find parish records to help identify the hometown in Spain. Spain has some of the strictest privacy laws in the world. You're not going to find their records on the internet, so there's no way of pinpointing the origins of the name in that country unless you use Catholic records in the Philippines to do it.

has a bunch of them. It is anyone's guess which branch you came from. There isn't much BMD data from the Philippines on the Internet. Not being able to read Chinese will be a huge barrier to you. I 'll bet your grandmother who was Chinese begged you to learn and you told her "later". There isn't much BMD data on Chinese people on the Internet either.
I'm sorry. Your best chance of tracing back 12 generations is to be born to English or New England parents, in families that lived next to solid, fire-proof stone churches for 12 generations and never dared to venture out of their county.
You might start with your grandparents' marriage certificate and work back the hard way, writing to churches to see if the Japanese left any records intact, or the priests hid them successfully.
Anybody know the origin of the Family name Tajan?
It's got some pretty diverse roots. I've found it in Lebanon, Turkey, Italy, France and Spain.
Figuring out its Spanish origins won't be easy, but this is what I was able to find:
Jose Tajan emigrated from Spain in 1929. He was born in the town of Mures.
Ludovina Tajan left Spain in 1954. Her records are too recent to be on the internet, but she flew out of Madrid.

What is the origin of the last name Word?
This is what www.ancestry.com has to say about the name,
Word
Perhaps an Americanized spelling of Dutch van der Woord, a habitational name from places named Woord, Woerd, or Word.
hope this helps.
Reply:A name (on its own) doesn't have a nationality.
If you take a look at the 1880 census, there are many persons with the name... some who came from England, others from Ireland, Scotland, etc.
The PERSON with the name will have a nationality, or more accurately, a location where his ancestors came from. Your ancestor with the name could have come from any of these places.. you won't know for sure without researching your ancestry.
Reply:The meaning of the surname WORD is - dweller at, or near a thicket or winding brook.
Reply:My last name is Word.. I have been curious about this as well! I read somewhere that it could be derived from old english ward or warden... meaning guard- an occupational surname.
Reply:the nationality is roman.....
surnames were commonly used two thousand years ago in areas occupied or influenced by the Romans.
Other areas of the world were slower to begin using surnames, but they were coming into regular use by the time of the Middle Ages, first by the nobility, then by the gentry. After the fall of the Roman Empire, Ireland was one of the first countries to adopt hereditary surnames, and Irish surnames are found as early as the tenth century.3
and
Surnames are generally derived from one of four sources: the name of the person's father (patronymic), the person's locality, the person's occupation, or a descriptive nickname for the person. When they were created, they answered one of the following questions: Who is this person's father? Where is this person from? What does this person do for a living? What is his or her most prominent feature?
The patronymic name suggests the name of the father or grandfather by the use of some form of "of." In Ireland, "Mac" means "son of," while "O" means "grandson of." When "d鈥?quot; or "di" is found in an Italian surname, it signifies "son of." In Czechoslovakia, Pavlov is the "son of Paul." This naming pattern can be seen clearly in Sweden, where each subsequent generation followed suit: Hans Peterson would be the son of Peter; Hans Peterson's son would be called Jan Hansen. (On the female side, the daughter of Hans would be called Hansdotter.) A similar situation can be found in the New World, in naming patterns in Dutch New Amsterdam.4 Some common patronymics are Robertson, Anderson, Williamson, and Johnson.

What was the origin of the Ku Kux Klan name?
I was discussing this with an acolyte. She maintained that it is kuklus, the Greek for circle. I always thought it was to do with cocking a Winchester. Most of the rednecks I have come across don't have that good a grasp of classical Greek, but just about know which end of a gun goes bang. Your thoughts. If you think that 'wife' and 'sister' are synonyms I would like to hear your views.
What was the origin of the Ku Kux Klan name?
The Greek for circle is kuklos - pronounced "keek-loss" there is no record of the ku klux klan being spoke/spelt any other way so I should think it unlikely. Perhaps Klux is the plural of cluck.

What is the origin of the name "Boston" in reference to Boston, Mass?
Boston, England. Tradition has it that the place came to be called "Botolphston" 鈥?either from "Botolph's stone" or "Botolph's town" 鈥?which was later contracted to "Boston."

Reply:Any name can be Jewish. When surnames were taken or assigned in Europe in the last melennium, Jews frequently took the same names as non Jews. A lot of names in the U. S. get considered Jewish as a large portion of the immigrants that came to this country with those names were Jewish while back in their home countries they were used by Jews and non Jews alike.
Actually, Orthodox and Conservative Judaism defines a Jew by the mother not the father. They state they get the nation from the mother and the tribe from the father. If they don't have a Jewish father, they belong to the tribe of the nearest male relative on the mother's side of the family.
Now, "tribe" does not mean the same as the tribes of Israel in the Bible.
They state if a person doesn't have a Jewish mother, the only way they can be a Jew is by conversion.

According to the WordOrgins site:
The exact origin of this theatrical term is not known. The term has been in use for the room in which actors wait for their cues since at least 1701. The first use was in London theaters--the particular theater in question is unknown. Probably, it refers to a room that was actually painted green.

Reply:Could not find the meaning of the name Sinise but checked US immigration records and 100% of the many records I checked had the country of origin as ITALY.
So I would suspect it's Italian (duhhh).
Reply:It's actually dwarfish. On screen they use special camera angles to make him look taller. It's the authentic dwarfish spelling of "sneezy".
No, actually it's Italian.
What is the origin and the meaning of the name Richeza?
Please someone find out for me, I have been unable to do so.
What is the origin and the meaning of the name Richeza?
Richeza means "richness", have not seen the name around. Portuguese - "riqueza", wealth, richness.
Reply:I get 1500+ hits in Google for the name, many of them women who lived in Poland 1,000 years ago. Doesn't give the origin, though, and it is a given name, not a surname.

Reply:You are right. It was a common name in Inverurie in the NE during the 15th and 16th centuries according to George.F.Black in his book The Surnames of Scotland. Unfortunately it gives no origin or a clan association. Bear in mind not all families in Scotland belonged to or were associated with clans especially in the Lowlands.

Outside Preston in Lancashire there is a little place called Nog Tow. Does anyone know the origin of the name?
If no one knows the origin, has anyone any ideas how I might go about finding out?
Outside Preston in Lancashire there is a little place called Nog Tow. Does anyone know the origin of the name?
Nog is an old English dialect word (from East Anglia) of obscure origins that was used to describe a kind of strong beer (hence noggin)
Tow is an Old English word meaning white/flaxen.
I don't know if that means that the two put together is really the meaning of this name, or if there is a more exact, historical meaning.
I used google, searched word meanings... Old English Nog and Tow
Reply:According to web sites about Lancashire area, Nog Tow has existed for close to 200 years. The word Tow in the name could be a reference to a boat being towed along a canal or a river nearby, which ws not uncommon those days.

If phonics means anything, it sounds extremely Prussian, which is Polish and German. The two combined created unusual sound blends. I wouldn't be surprised if you found it written as Czubal, as well.
Reply:My friend has a name very similar to Shubal, and it's of African or Middle Eastern origin. I don't know if that helps you, but that's all I got.
Reply:I agree with the answer about Polish/German and don't forget Austrian. Since it was a first name, I would imagine that it was a family name that had some spelling changes.
Reply:Hey Tanners,
There are some entries in LDS Family Search showing Germany and one in Norway. The USA entries are immigrants.
On a search for Shubal, that name is used frequently (or more frequently) as a First name. See the Yahoo Search.

I want to know my family tree. Where can I go to find the origin of my last name which is Russotto? Does?

Actually, your family tree and where your last name originated are apples and oranges. Both in the fruit family but different.
Your name MIGHT have originated in the 1300's in some village in Italy. That would be of interest... unless you researched your own ancestry, only to find an adoption some 100 years ago, and grandpa's name actually was Smith. Or, like many American names, it may have been something different that became Anglicized or varies in the spelling. This does NOT mean that someone at Ellis Island picked a different name, or they went to court and changed it. It simply can be a reflection of what people accepted as "correct".
Ancestry is only one of several sites that charge a fee. They do have some valuable resources, but for the most part, people go there hoping to find a "canned" family history, all neatly done.
There are a kazillion FREE sites that have information. One is www.rootsweb.com, with family files.. there are 46 entries for the name Russotto. That means SOMEONE is already researching the family. One shows Russia as place of birth, another shows Italy. You MIGHT be related to one of these persons... but without doing some basic research, you won't know. There also is a guide there, to help beginners.
Information comes in pieces.. a marriage record one place, a land record in another, a library might have a scholarly article about someone in the family. Many of these places won't necessarily be classified as strictly genealogical. Other records, ie family Bibles, personal letters, so forth are NOT public records, so don't expect to find everything online.
Obviously, I love the process of research, and enjoy putting in the time. It is the most reliable way to REALLY be sure of your heritage.

Anybody know the origin of the family name Yan?
My middle name is Yan and it came from my deceased grandfather who came from the Canton part of China. I've searched so many websites yet I could only find that the name changed several times and got me confused to a point.
Anybody know the origin of the family name Yan?
Yan was a very short lived kingdom in the vicinity of present-day Beijing at the beginning of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms Period, which is traditionally dated as being from 907 to 960. Yan only lasted for two years, from 911 to 913.
it is also a state of china.
Cantonese transcription of Chinese surname 鐢? Created for Naming taboo. Emperor Ming of Han has a given name of Zhuang, and he renamed the Zhuang surname to Yan.
The Yan Emperor, a close kin of the Yellow Emperor.

Yan
1. Chinese : of uncertain origin, originating in Shaanxi province. It may be a variant of another name from the same region and pronounced the same way (see 4 below, ).
2. Chinese : the origin of this name is closely tied up with that of Zhuang. During the Spring and Autumn period (722鈥搕o 481 BC), many members of the ruling class of the state of Chu adopted as their surname Zhuang, the posthumously given name of a king of Chu. The name Zhuang was kept until the Eastern Han dynasty (25 to鈥?20 AD), when, to avoid a taboo on having the same name as the ruler (then Liu Zhuang), many people changed their surname from Zhuang to Yan.
3.Chinese : from the 鈥榮tyle name鈥?Yan. Yi Fu, a descendant of the grantee of the fief of Zhu (see Zhu 1) during the Zhou dynasty had the 鈥榮tyle name鈥?Yan. Descendants adopted his style name as their surname.
4 Chinese : there are two accounts of the origin of this name: one a place named Yan Village and the other Yan Town. Both places existed during the Zhou dynasty (1122 to鈥?21 BC).

A non-Asian form is YAN :
Gender: Masculine
Usage: Bulgarian
Bulgarian form of Ioannes (see JOHN)
JOHN
Gender: Masculine
Usage: English, Biblical
Pronounced: JAHN
English form of Iohannes, which was the Latin form of the Greek name (Ioannes), itself derived from the Hebrew name 讬(Yochanan) meaning "YAHWEH (or God) is gracious". This name owes its consistent popularity to two New Testament characters, both highly revered as saints. The first was John the Baptist, the forerunner of Jesus Christ and a victim of beheading by Herod Antipas. The second was the apostle John, also supposedly the author of the fourth Gospel and Revelation.
The name has been borne by 21 popes and eight Byzantine emperors, as well as kings of England, France, Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Portugal and Hungary. It was also borne by the poet John Milton and the philosopher John Locke

Reply:very informal survey of entries at rootsweb's family files...
199013 entries of the name
5972 from England
505 Ireland
443 Scotland
55 Wales
11 from France
10 from Germany
ACTUAL provable origin?? I'd say it is pretty speculative. On the other hand, if we entice you into basic research, it is solid information, methodically found, and going back to YOUR own Barber ancestor. Friend's dad is accurate in that many surnames come from such things as professions... but it is not a solid fact that I know of.
Reply:There is only one sure way to know your Barber ancestry and that's the tried%26amp;true research back in history one generation at a time - of your ancestors, not some scattershot at the surname.
Reply:your friend is right, a barber did do surgery back in the days of old before doctors!
Reply:Beware of coat of arms peddlers.
There are no laws in the U. S. regarding heraldry and there are companies that will sell you one solely based on your surname.
That is not illegal but it is dishonest.
Wendy %26amp; Genevieve's Mom gave you the best answers.
There was a time when people did not have surnames and one of the things they used was their occupation. Barber, Carpenter, Clark(clerk), Fisher, Miller, Baker etc.
You can imagine not everyone with the same surname comes from the same root as there had to be more than one barber.
Reply:Wendy hit it on the nose. There isn't a single origin of the name. House of Names only gives the Scottish definition of the name and lineage because that's the only one that was noble. They couldn't very well sell you a French crest when one doesn't exist. So they tell you what fits their purposes and leave out the rest.
There were many ways that people took their names, but their occupation was one of the big 4. We can't tell you that there is one man from 1271 to whom every Barber in the world traces their name. The name developed independently all across Europe and you need to follow Wendy's very sage advice to start your family tree and research back as far as you can to determine the origin of the name. You might be surprised and find that isn't even the original name and someone changed it along the way. But without doing the research, you'll never know that.
Reply:The origin isn't Irish - traditionally, Irish people followed the Celtic mode of not shaving any part of the head, except for monks who shaved the back. In fact the English colonists ran a law in the 15th Cebntury that all settler men shave the head above the mouth to distinguish them from the native Irish men who prided themselves especially in large moustaches and front fringes falling over the eyes.
In medieval times barbers also had duties as dentists and surgeons (bleeders), because they had the tools. That's why the traditional sign over a barber-shop, on this side of the pond anyway, is a pole with alternate white and red stripes.

Reply:very informal survey of entries at rootsweb's family files...

ACTUAL provable origin?? I'd say it is pretty speculative. On the other hand, if we entice you into basic research, it is solid information, methodically found, and going back to YOUR own Barber ancestor. Friend's dad is accurate in that many surnames come from such things as professions... but it is not a solid fact that I know of.
Reply:There is only one sure way to know your Barber ancestry and that's the tried%26amp;true research back in history one generation at a time - of your ancestors, not some scattershot at the surname.
Reply:your friend is right, a barber did do surgery back in the days of old before doctors!
Reply:Beware of coat of arms peddlers.
There are no laws in the U. S. regarding heraldry and there are companies that will sell you one solely based on your surname.
That is not illegal but it is dishonest.
Wendy %26amp; Genevieve's Mom gave you the best answers.
There was a time when people did not have surnames and one of the things they used was their occupation. Barber, Carpenter, Clark(clerk), Fisher, Miller, Baker etc.
You can imagine not everyone with the same surname comes from the same root as there had to be more than one barber.
Reply:Wendy hit it on the nose. There isn't a single origin of the name. House of Names only gives the Scottish definition of the name and lineage because that's the only one that was noble. They couldn't very well sell you a French crest when one doesn't exist. So they tell you what fits their purposes and leave out the rest.

What is the German origin of the name Shuman?
I am trying to trace my ancestory back to 16th century Germany
What is the German origin of the name Shuman?
They are right, its Schumann, the cobbler
Reply:If the name really stems from Germany, the spelling has been changed, as German does not use the S H combination. German's equivalent of the English sh is S C H. Also, a name would not end MAN. It would have a double N on the end. Many German names in the USA had the spellings altered to look less German during World War I, and more during WW2. So the name you are trying to pin down could have been Schumann, a perfectly legit German name.
Reply:as explained above, the German writung would be "Schuhmann" (or, as in the surname of the composer Robert Schumann, spelled without the "h") in any case, it originally refers to a shoemaker or cobbler.

Reply:"Ang Puno" or "Ang Uno"
The name Angono stems from various story sources. One such story describes the area of Angono as abundant in fish and animal life, with perennial grass and virgin forests, but infested by crocodiles. The Spaniards who went there found a village of huts consisting of 50 families and ruled by Datu Biga. The huts were on four posts made up of tree branches, bamboos and cogon, tied together by "baging" (vines). Food gathering was done by the use of implements like the "silo" (for wild deer/pig) and the "pana", "salap" and "salapang" (for fish). The villagers had rice, vegetables and fruit trees. The Datus dwelling was located on a hilltop, a place in which still presently bears his name - Biga. Natives refer to their datu as "Ang Puno" or "Ang Uno", which carried on with the Spaniards, also attributing to it to the place where the datu and his followers resided. When the area pacified, Angono progressed as a "visitas" in the vicinity of Pasig, which was the mother parish.

What is the meaning and origin of the name Verdell Ardell?
Its my grandfather's name from Texas. He went by the nickname "Cotton"
What is the meaning and origin of the name Verdell Ardell?
The root origin of the surname was found to be this:
Ardell
Swedish: from an unexplained first element + the common suffix of surnames -ell (from Latin -elius).
The 1st name of Verdell could have been a family surname and the parents decided to give this as a first name instead, in order to carry it down the line. Verdell could just have been a name made up by a family member simply because they liked it.

Are you defined by your family name and by your origin?

How important are these for you?
Where are you from? And your parents?
What can you tell me about your family and what made you the person you are now?
Thank you for sharing your life with me!:)
Are you defined by your family name and by your origin?
I actually do believe it is important that I honour my family name, though that is largely because of the associated history and nobility of that name (which I am obviously not going to reveal in this hostile zoo). If it "defines" me it is entirely by choice. I don't feel responsible for the actions of my forebears, up to and including my immediate family. I am an individual, a free agent, and I adhere to my own code of ethics and honour. I answer to none but myself, which means I answer to the person who is for me by far the most critical, difficult and hard to please. I would have it no other way.
When you ask how important family names are in modern society I'm not really sure how to answer. Clearly, surnames have meaning for some people while others couldn't care less. I imagine a great deal of this concerns the family name itself. Some names refer to professions. Others to locations. Still others to character traits, descriptions, even colours. Just as there are myriad first names with all sorts of meanings, there are even more last names with all sorts of complex meanings and backgrounds. Everyone is different, as is everyone's perception of their own identity. This is a surprisingly complex area.
I was born and raised in the United States to a British father (English, Scottish and Irish bloodlines) and an American mother (German and Irish bloodlines). I am a dual national, holding both US %26amp; UK passports. I have family and friends on both sides of the pond, as well as in farther flung places (Canada, Australia and Japan, to name a few). I come from a large family (3 brothers and 2 sisters) and we are pretty close knit despite being very different people in many ways. The person I am today is more a reflection of my educational and life experiences than anything like having a role model or strong parental influence. I could even argue that my innate personality and core values were already formed at birth. I have always known and understood myself better than anyone or anything else in this world. This is likely why only I am truly capable of kicking my own *** when needed. ;-)

I am from New York State. My parents were both from NYC.

My genealogy is already posted, but not with live people.
I am not a believer that some families or backgrounds are better than others. My mother seem to believe that her background is better than some peoples. I do not have a strong ethnic identity, or religious identity. This is unusual for my area. My father never had a strong ethnic identity since he came from more than one group.
I got into genealogy to find the answers to the mysteries in my families. I put together data to prove or disprove what we know, and then let my family know about it.
My family is getting bored of all the genealogy. I wish I could go back to playing guitar, but it hurts.

Reply:Family influence is more important than family name or origin. In the US, we are culturally an amalgamation of any number of sources, so we are not necesarily influenced by a single "origin." What one's own character becomes (which transcends birth or family) is pretty much up to that person.

Family is important and I feel a need to make them pround of me, but they don't control what I do. My heritage is Scottish, English, Irish, French, and First Nations. Because my family has been in Canada so long, we have lost a lot of the old traditions, but have started new ones in the family.
I even have my families crest tattooed on my back, it was a big deal in the extended family that I showed everyone how proud I was to belong to them.
Reply:I am of Anglo-Saxon descent. I do not believe that this defines who I am as my family on both sides has been in America since the 1700's and one member in the1600's. Through all this time we have become very generic. We have lost most traditions over time, saving Christmas and Easter. It is sad. I am envious of the Irish, German,Polish etc who have wonderful traditions that they still keep alive. So, I am not quite sure what defines me. Thank you for the food for thought.

My genealogy is already posted, but not with live people.
I am not a believer that some families or backgrounds are better than others. My mother seem to believe that her background is better than some peoples. I do not have a strong ethnic identity, or religious identity. This is unusual for my area. My father never had a strong ethnic identity since he came from more than one group.
I got into genealogy to find the answers to the mysteries in my families. I put together data to prove or disprove what we know, and then let my family know about it.
My family is getting bored of all the genealogy. I wish I could go back to playing guitar, but it hurts.
Reply:I think is a Combinattion of Both asnwers. For Example..My Father Last name came from France from there they went to Spain...
My Name got Nothing to do with Who I Am..that's My responsability..to live up tp MY expectations, dreams and Ideals...
That a Last Name like Kennedy or Bloomberg helps open doors..of course it can But that's Not Who You are...
Reply:To quote a wise rat, "Do not confuse your origin with your current worth."
Reply:1. I am not defined by my family name or by my origin.
2. In modern society, your name and origin shouldn't be important. It is who you are on the inside that matters.
3. My family name and origin is important to me because of researching my ancestors.
4. I am from Evansville, Indiana. My Dad was from Tell City, Indiana, and my Mom was from Evansville, both are deceased now.
5. Your are pretty nosy, but my family is great except for the sister who wants to control the whole family. My parents made me the way I am.
Your welcome! And why didn't you tell us about your family first. You said to share and you did not. Explain why, please!
Reply:Family influence is more important than family name or origin. In the US, we are culturally an amalgamation of any number of sources, so we are not necesarily influenced by a single "origin." What one's own character becomes (which transcends birth or family) is pretty much up to that person.
Reply:Yes and no. I'm proud to be French, Irish, Spanish and Scottish, but I don't feel that my life revolves around that.
Reply:I hope I'm not DEFINED by my family name, it's Twaddle. Want a laugh, look it up in an English Dictionary. I'm not kidding that's my name.
Family is important and I feel a need to make them pround of me, but they don't control what I do. My heritage is Scottish, English, Irish, French, and First Nations. Because my family has been in Canada so long, we have lost a lot of the old traditions, but have started new ones in the family.
I even have my families crest tattooed on my back, it was a big deal in the extended family that I showed everyone how proud I was to belong to them.
Reply:I am of Anglo-Saxon descent. I do not believe that this defines who I am as my family on both sides has been in America since the 1700's and one member in the1600's. Through all this time we have become very generic. We have lost most traditions over time, saving Christmas and Easter. It is sad. I am envious of the Irish, German,Polish etc who have wonderful traditions that they still keep alive. So, I am not quite sure what defines me. Thank you for the food for thought.

What do you think about this Indian origin name for a boy?
I think it sounds OK and people will probably be able to mostly pronounce it correctly from the spelling. Also, it depends on what country you live in and what your ethnic background is. The more it fits in with the other people surrounding him the easier it will be for others to use.
Reply:Sounds very Indian.
I would wonder if the boy doesn't look Indian, but on the other hand... I suppose anything is allowed.
In Finland one may not name one's child with a clearly foreign name unless there's a close connection to that culture/tradition.
Reply:I think it sounds ok. I like the how the name is prounced like it is spelled as well.
Reply:I actually like it.
Reply:It is fine if your heritage is Indian otherwise nah!
Reply:beautiful
In languages, it means the great expance, wid, brod and spacious.But not to refer to size. The meaning comes closer to grand or great. There is no exact translation of vishal in English. A few interpretations are immense, Unstoppable One, One Who Dreams Impossible Dreams, or One Who Reaches for the Sky and is Creative Beyond All Dreams.

Black Name Meaning and History
Scottish and English: from Middle English blak(e) 鈥榖lack鈥?(Old English bl忙c, blaca), a nickname given from the earliest times to a swarthy or dark-haired man.
Scottish and English: from Old English blac 鈥榩ale鈥? 鈥榝air鈥? i.e. precisely the opposite meaning to 1, and a variant of Blake 2. Blake and Black are found more or less interchangeably in several surnames and place names.
English: variant of Blanc as a Norman name. The pronunciation of the nasalized vowel gave considerable difficulty to English speakers, and its quality was often ignored.
Scottish and Irish: translation of various names from Gaelic dubh 鈥榖lack鈥?(see Duff).
Danish and Swedish: generally, probably the English and Scottish name, but in some cases perhaps a variant spelling of Blak, a nickname from blak 鈥榖lack鈥?
In some cases, a translation of various names meaning 鈥榖lack鈥? for example German and Jewish Schwarz.

Reply:Africa. A ton of African-Americans chose "Black" as a surname when they were freed in 1865 because they couldn't stand their former owner, and didn't want to take his surname.
Pretty much any surname that is an English word is going to be associated with England / Scotland / Ireland, the way a Spanish ("Del Rio") word will be associated with Spain and so forth.

What is the country of origin of the last name Heiskill?
I can't find this anywhere. Even guesses will help!
What is the country of origin of the last name Heiskill?
It may be either Dutch or German. The 'Hei' sound is used very much in German, so Heiskill might come from there. It also might have come from "Hase", which is from Middle High German and Middle Low German means "hare, rabbit". It is a nickname for a timid person.
But I know that Heiskill - or Heiskell - is only used in the US, so the name must have been different in the beginning but over the years it has changed.
Reply:THIS was an appeal from the Circuit Court of the United States for the Eastern District of Virginia.
The facts in the case are fully set forth in the opinion of the court.
It was argued by Mr. Johnson, for the appellant, and Mr. Robinson, for the appellee.
Mr. Johnson said, that prior to 1819, the right to issue an execution was governed by the law of 1748; but in 1819 the Revised Code directed that a capias ad satisfaciendum created a lien upon land from its date. Before that, the law was the same as in England. The decree below rests upon the principle that the lien is destroyed by a ca. sa. But it is not so where the debtor dies in custody or escapes. The reason is, that if the debtor is taken from prison by a cause over which the creditor has no control, then the creditor does not suffer, but may resort to another execution.
If then he is discharged by an act of Congress, the same reason operates, and the creditor should not lose his lien. The second section of the act (2 Stat. at L., 4 搂 2,) expressly says that the judgment shall remain and be in full force. Note 68 Wms. Saund., where the cases are collected. 2 Leigh, (Va.), 257; 4 Id., 425. These cases say that the English rule is the Virginia rule.
The point made by Mr. Robinson, upon which the decision turned, was the following.
Under the judicial act of 1789, 搂 14, (1 Story Laws U. S., 59,) as expounded in Wayman v. Southard, 10 Wheat., 24, the courts of the United States have power to issue writs of execution on their judgments; and under the process acts of 1789 and 1792, (1 Story Laws U. S., 67, 257,) the forms of executions and the forms and modes of proceeding in suits at common law, including (according to the decisions in Wayman v. Southard, 10 Wheat., 32, and Duncan v. Darst et. al., 1 How., 306,) the conduct of the officer in the execution of the process, whether mesne or final, and all the regulations and steps incident to it from its commencement to its termination, are to conform to the law of the State as it existed in September, 1789, so far as that law can be made to apply.
The Virginia act of 1748, concerning executions, (5 Hen. Stat., 526,) which as to this matter was the law of the State in 1789, recognizing that persons recovering judgments, may, at their election, prosecute writs of fieri facias, elegit, and capias ad satisfaciendum for taking the goods, lands or body, and prescribing the form of a writ of elegit as well as of other writs, it is not controverted that Seekamp's administrator might in the first instance have sued out an elegit, and according to the terms and effect of that writ, have extended a moiety of all the lands of which McCoull was seized at the date of the judgment, or at any time after. But having made his election to take out a ca. sa. in the first instance, (as he had a right to do both under the Virginia act and the proviso to the process acts,) and having pursued the ca. sa., we insist鈥擳hat the plaintiff has no longer the capacity to sue out an elegit, and no longer a lien from the date of his judgment on a moiety of the real estate of McCoull, or any part thereof. 3 Bac.
