Thank you for all of your comments. I include a snapshot of the name and remark that the Nason surname recedes to an extrapolated date of circa 1435 and was/is centred in Warwickshire. The C16th Nasons were a little more imaginative with the names they gave their children, compared with later generations who stuck with Biblical sources, but nowhere have I found anything to compete with 'Frizzy' . . .
