    1. Re: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] Help!

    3. Found nothing on Debanfer. Sicar is found in western Europe including Spain, France and Italy. The origin has been said to be from "cigarro" for cigarette. This sounds like speculation as tobacco didn't get to Spain until the 1500's by which time most Spaniards had had surnames for some time. Perhaps another google search is in order. I go here: www.google.com and enter the name. Then I click on any promising site. You can also enter "sicar meaning origin" and narrow down your choices. Let's hope you have better luck than I did.

    1. Re: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] Thor Bethwin

    3. Unable to find this name in my ref. materials. "Beth" means "house" in Hebrew. "Win" was O.E. or M.E. for "friend." The "win" element also had other meanings at various times in history, such as war and war-related meanings. Thor is an unusual forename for a woman, is it not? I'll do a little more digging if no one else comes up with anything. Fascinating name, tho'. Gary Radcliffe [email protected]

    2. stephen king

    3. Hi, I am trying to find out if the surname Bethwin changed its spelling. She was married to Phillip Kinge, who was born in 1557,Launceston, Cornwall England; no date of marriage and he died in or about 1636. Thor was born about 1560, Weymouth England and no date of her death. Have not been able to locate her parents. I would like to know what her name means. Thank you, Stephen _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com

    1. Re: [SURNAME-ORIGINS] ROLFE
    2. LaChance

    3. ROLFE (English) Variation of ROLF, from the Middle English given name 'Rolf', meaning 'renown' + 'wolf'. It apparently came to England through both the pre-Conquest Scandinavian settlers, and through the Normans. The popular Nordic form was 'Hrolfr' (accent over the 'o'). The Norman form was generally 'Rou(l)'.
