What is the meaning of the names Ancelin and Asselin and their origins? Thank you Harold Ashley
I found a Milosh ERDELYAN. Milosh is Hungarian. But I still think ERDELYAN is Armenian. Could not find its meaning. There is a website dealing in Italian names and their meanings. If I can find it, I'll pass it on to you. Gary Radcliffe [email protected]

In Germany could Gülde and Gulde be the same surname or are they entirely different? Also...could anyone (phonetically) (I do not do German) tell me the difference in pronunciation? The different spellings are giving me problems in my research. Thank you for any suggestions. Don (MI)
Hello, Gülde(n) is generally an older variant of Golden = golden. Another possibility might be that it's a variant of Gilde = guild.

The Cassell Concise German English Dictionary says "gülden" means "golden" - Muriel -----Original Message----- From: LaChance <[email protected]> To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Date: April 5, 2001 9:41 PM Subject: Re: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] Gülde According to "German-American Names" by George F. Jones the names you list are all a form of Gulde, meaning "guilder". From what he says, this was originally a nickname from the large coin (Gulden or guilder) and very likely was a complimentary name to suggest a person of a generous or magnanimous nature. Barbara

I think Barbara would agree. > > Gary Radcliffe > Oh, absolutely!!! <G> I've run across many a name that meant something such as "Big Head With Wart On Nose" but it sure sounded and looked good in todays language! Once found one that originally meant "a foundling under a tree". It was a perfectly honorable and nice name. But by the time it made it into the nineteenth century it had been twisted around to sound something like "Snicklefritz" (can't remember the exact name) and meant something totally different today than it did in the 11th century. I can sympathize with people who would like their names to mean something important or exotic, though. My own maiden name is one of two exceedingly mundane ones, depending upon whether I use my father's adopted name of SHEPARD or his natural father's name of English. Also, my given name boils down to the Greek meaning of "Babble"! Now, ain't THAT an EXOTIC ONE THOUGH?!!? <G> Babble Sheepherder-Englishperson From the Estate of Chance (sure glad I don't have to sign THAT on a check! I'd never make it! <LOL>)

TIMOTI - can't find the name as given but did find two possibilities: \ TIMOTHY (Irish) variation of TOMELTY, Anglicized form of Gaelic "Mac Tomhaltaigh" and "O'Tomhaltaigh" 'son' and 'descendant of Tomaltach', a byname apparently meaning "Glutton". \ TIMOTIJEVIC (Croation) variation of the Russian "TIMOFEEV", patronym from the given name Timofei "Timothy" (Gk 'Timotheos', from 'timan' (to honour) + 'theos' (God)). I'm wondering if TIMOTI could be a shortening of this name?

BINNION - Same as Bennion. From the Welsh Celtic meaning "son of "Ennion or Einion." For example: Evan ap Ennion meaning Evan son of Ennion. "In the procession, on the day of dedication, were seen walking side by side, in the place of honor, as being among the few witnesses of the death of the blessed martyr (St. Alban) ...Lucius, the Roman officer, and Einion, the wild British boy. --Evans, Ancient British Church page 98.
