OPIE (Cornish) from the medieval given name 'Oppy, Obby', a diminutive of various names such as 'Osborn, Osbert, and Osbald'. TREGUNNA (Cornish) habitation name, probably from a place in the parish of St. Breock, so called from Cornish 'tre' (homestead, settlement + a second element of unknown form and meaning). This name, or its variations may also be from various places called 'Tregon(n)a' or 'Tregenna', which are likewise from 'tre' + an unknown second element. One variation: Tregunno means 'a place in the parish of Breage'. RETALLICK (Cornish) Variation of "RETALLACK", habitation name from any of four places in Cornwall. Two of them are from Cornish 'res' (ford) + 'helyk' (willow trees); the other two are either from 'res' + 'halek' (muddy, marshy), or from 'res' + 'talek' (steep-browed) [which also occurs as a personal name].

OPIE May be from the Anglo-Saxon personal name Oppa with the diminutive suffix ie or ey. The name seems to be confined to Cornwall where it occurs in the 15th century as Opye and later Oppie. Gary Radcliffe West Covina, CA [email protected]

Don't know if the two are related but the closest I could come to SZAJA was SZAJN which is the Polish spelling of the Yiddish word 'sheyn'. The name is a variation of Schon (German) which is a nickname for a handsome or pleasant man.

REITZEL (German) Fowler's lure; fowler. This could have designated the person's occupation or it could have been a house name with a sign designating the occupant's profession. MORETZ - found: \ MORITZ (German) "St. Mauritius". As best as I can figure out from the explanation, this could be a name taken from a place of residence or it could have come from the name of a saint. Both were apparently common naming occurances.

Hi, Just a guess - but ERDÉLY is the Hungarian name for Transsylvania, so Erdelyian could mean "person orginating from Translyvania". But you would nead to ask a Hungarian native speaker to verify this.
