    1. Re: [Q-R] Sauvage as a surname -v- Wild as a surname
    2. Doreen O
    3. The original query asked why the surname of the bride was given as "Sauvage" yet her father's surname was given as "Wild". I did not dispute the origin of the bride's surname. I did suggest that it appeared the father's surname had been translated. I offered that the word sauvage could mean wild or sometimes in reference to native persons. Again - I did not dispute the origin of the bride's surname or offer incorrect information re the heritage, history or origin of the name. Doreen
