Can you help with the origin of the surname HARRELL? Thanks in advance, Iris [email protected]

Momborquette ? Hansen (Low German) Patronym of 'HANS', from a medieval given name which is a form of "Johannes (John)". The surname is also borne by Ashkenazic Jews, presumably as an adoption of the German surname. Taylor (English) A tailor. Castle (English) Topographic name from Anglo-Norman French "castel" castle, fortified building or set of buildings, especially the residence of a feudal lord. The name would also have denoted a servant who lived and worked at such a place. Ashmore (English) Habitation name from any of several minor places, so called from Old English words meaning "Ash" + "marsh, fen". In Dorset, though, the early forms suggest "Ash" + an OE word for "lake" or "boundary". Bird (English, Irish, Jewish) 1. English: a nickname or perhaps an occupational name for a bird catcher; 2. Irish: a variation of the name "Heneghan/Henegan"; 3. Jewish: translation of various Ashkenazic surnames meaning "Bird". Fullerton (Scots and N Irish) From a place so called from an Old English word meaning "bird-catcher" (fowler) + enclosure, settlement. Look for the name mostly near Ayr or Forfar, both in Scotland. Variations: Fullarton, Foulerton. Ryan (Irish) 1. simplified form of "Mulryan" (particularly common in Tipperary); 2. Anglicized form of Gaelic "O' Riain" (descendant of "Rian" or "Riaghn" [not to be confused with "Regan"]). Roy (Scots, English, French) 1. Scots: nickname for one with red hair; 2. English (Norman): Variation of "RAY", denoting someone who behaved in a regal fashion or who had earned the title in some contest of skill or by presiding over festivities; 3. French: Cognate of #2 (above). Colburne (English) Variation of "COLBOURNE", habitation name from a place possiblly so named with the Old English elements meaning "cool" + "stream". The surname is now most frequently found in Birmingham, though it could be found in Colburn near Catterick in N Yorkshire.

Hello, I would appreciate any information on the above surnames if possible. Many thanks in advance. Cindy

Hi, I'm looking for the meaning of the name SCHIRDEWAN (also written Zirdewan, Zirdewan, Schierdewon, etc.) Thank you, Ingolf Vogel

DESJARDINS (French). Of the gardens. MAC INTYRE - (Celtic). Son of the carpenter. McGILL - (Celtic). Gil or Gille means servant or disciple. So McGill means son of the servant or disciple. FELTHAM - (English). The enclosure of the field or plain. Old English was feld for field and ham for enclosure. WHEATON - Couldn't find WHEADON. (English) The wheat-enclosure. Spelled WHETONE in the 14th century. WHITTON - The white farm or hamlet. Hwita's farm or estate (Old English for white or fair). Gary Radcliffe

Couldn't find it either. Couldn't even find TIMBERLAKE. My sources are all from the United Kingdom. In a sense, the name speaks for itself but we are often suprised when our guesses are wrong. It may be German rather than English. Gary

Once again, THANKS to everyone for all the information. A few months ago, a 'just found' 2nd cousin, told me that my grandfather, my mom's dad, was Jewish. He said that when my mom annouced that she was going to marry a Baptist, that he wished her dead, so I wondered about that. I have found practically NOTHING, on that name, HEYMAN. I am begining to think they came from Mars! LOL Thanks again everyone. Kay Robinson Music Also researching... EDNEY, GORE, GRADY, GRAY, HART, HEYMAN, HUGHES, LAVENDER, ROBINSON, SMITH, WILSON, WRIGHT...(from the south east), and ofcourse, MUSIC/MUSICK.

Upon hearing from Gary Radcliffe, something he said rang a bell and I checked HEIMAN. One of the meanings of that is "descendant of HYAM", which IS a Jewish name. A variation of that name, as Gary pointed out, is HYMAN. Could your ancestor's name have mutated over the years from HYMAN to HEYMAN?

HEYMAN - Can be the same as the Jewish HYMAN. Gary

Hello Everyone, I have just subscribed to this list today. I am trying to find out the meanings and origins of the surnames: DESJARDINS CREELMAN McINTYRE / MacINTYRE / McENTIRE McGILL FELTHAM WHEADON I hope someone is able to help me with this. Many thanks, Cindy Donovan Nova Scotia

More on the Heyman surname Also to be considered. It is also derived from the German "Hagen" meaning "hedged place". .. We should also consider the Jewish "Hyman" meaning life. And.. believe it or not, many strange men were addressed "Hey! man". John __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo!

TIMBERLAND - Couldn't find the name as given. However did find its elements: \ TIMBER (English) Means 'a wooded area'. \ LAND (English) Means 'territory' or 'one who came from a wooded glade'. Therefore I would assume TIMBERLAND to mean someone who lived in, or by, a wooded area.

DESJARDINS (French) Cognate of the English "GARDENER", normally a cultivator of edible produce in an orchard or kitchen garden, rather than a tender of ornamental lawn and flower beds. Comes from the Middle English and Old Northern French "gardin" (garden), a diminutive of "gard" (enclosure), which itself is of Germanic origin. McINTYRE/McENTIRE (Scots.) Anglicized form of Gaelic 'Mac an Toisich' (son of the carpenter or mason). Variations: McInteer, McEnteer, McAteer, McCateer, McTear, McTier, Matier, Mateer, Tear(e), Tier, Tyr(i)e McGILL (Scots., Irish) Patronym of "GALL, GAUL(E), GAW", a nickname, of Celtic origin, meaning "foreigner" or "stranger". In the Scot. highlands the Gaelic term 'gall' was applied to people from the English-speaking lowlands and to Scandinavians. In Ireland the same term was applied to settlers who arrived from Wales and England in the wake of the Anglo-Norman invasion. The surname is also found at an early date in Lincolnshire, where it apparently has a Breton origin, having been introduced by Breton followers of the Norman Conquerors. FELTHAM (English) Habitation name from places SW of London and in Somerset. The former is so called from Old English 'feld' (pasture, open country) + 'ham' (homestead); the latter from Old English words meaning 'hay' + 'water meadow'. WHEADON - Found: \ WHEATON (English) Of uncertain origin, apparently a habitation name, perhaps from an unidentified place named with the Old English elements meaning "wheat" + "enclosure, settlement". Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges CREELMAN - Couldn't find the name as given. But did find "CREEL" and would assume the addition of "MAN" would indicate a servant or retainer of someone by that name. \ CREEL (Irish) Of uncertain origin. Possibly derived from the first name of "Raghailleach". Source: Encyclopedia of American Family Names by H.

None of my sources listed it as Jewish. Even if you go to the "Heath" off-shoot, with all the variations listed, not one is Jewish.

In my mom's family bible, she has it as: DONNA JOAN GRAY Some family say that it was JANE instead of JOAN, as her mother's middle name was JANE.

It was told that she spent much of her life in Red Bay, Franklin Co. AL., which is about 5 miles away from Tremont. JAMES GRAY Born: 1846 in AL.
