Does anyone have any information about the Catalan surname Pulles? From what I got from the Spain list, it comes from the Italian surname Pugliese, from the region of Puglia in Italy. Does anyone have further information? Thanks! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - Share your holiday photos online! http://photos.yahoo.com/

Found: EADE (Eng., Scot) 1. from "Eda", a Middle English short form of the female given name "Edith" from an Old English name meaning "prosperity battle". 2. from a Middle English short form of "Adam", common especially in Scotland and N. England. Adding the "s" makes it either a patronymic or a metronymic form. The former comes from a male ancestor, the latter from a female one.

I like the Eng. and Scot. definitions and can see how Pennick became Penix (Pennicks) as heard by an immigration or other clerk. The 's' was often added by a family so this satisfies me completely, Thank you, Barbara, Gary

Good thinking, John. I'll pass it on. And thanks. Gary

My friend, Kenny Penix, would like a lookup on his surname origin. He thinks it's English but I couldn't find it in my UK surname book. Gary Radcliffe

May I have a lookup on this Spanish name, please? De = from or of La = the O = there's the rub. It is supposed to have been used by women from another place than where they lived and they didn't want to reveal their home village or town. Gary Radcliffe

There are names that contain double suffixes but I have never seen a name composed of just three prefixes. I would look to a name that has been corrupted by scribes writing what they hear. Perhaps from "Delano" which is a place name "of the wet land". Although this is French, keep in mind that many people who acquired such names did so by moving to another place. John Delao may be "John from Delanoe" which is a place in France. --- [email protected] wrote: > May I have a lookup on this Spanish name, please? > > De = from or of > La = the > O = there's the rub.

Help please,After the correct spelling of JELICK, Itialian decent is this correct THANK YOU Robert Bateman of Melbourne, Australia

JELLICO / JELLICOE are weak forms of the Old French Gentilcors. Also see Jolicouer. JELLICOUR - Gay heart, jolly soul (Anglo-French). JELLICORSE (Anglo-French, Latin) handsome body, pleasing, handsome. I knew some Jellicos as a child and thought they were Italian so perhaps the name is also found in Italy.

Has anyone any thoughts on the origins of the rare surname TAKEN? I have Irish connections to this name and have also found references to the family name in the east end of London, possibly with Jewish connections. I have also seen a few references to the name in Germany and Holland. There appears to be no connection to the similar sounding, East Anglian based surname, TACON. Look forward to any thoughts you may have. Kind Regards Maureen [email protected]
