BURN - The Scots call their streams "burns." There is an old song called "Doon the Burn (Davey lad)." I assume they borrowed it from the English but cannot verify it. Gary Radcliffe West Covina, CA

BURN / BURNS are English in origin and have a number of origins. 1. One who lived by a brook. 2. From Bjorn, Scandinavian for Bear, a common name to this day in Scandinavian countries. 3. Warrior, hero, nobleman and later just plain Man. If there is a Scottish origin, I'm not aware of it, despite Robert Burns, the poet. There may be a site or an encyclopedia which explains his surname but I haven't checked there. Google might have something on him. Good luck in your pursuit.

LONG (English, French, & Irish) 1. English and French: a tall man, from Old English "lang, long" (long, tall). 2. Irish: Anglicized form of "O'Longain" (descendant of "Longan"), a personal name probably derived from either "long", meaning tall, or from "long" ship (and so originally meaning a seafarer). ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.

May I humbly suggest a deformed version of the word 'casteaux' - being the old french plural of castel, which being rendered, vaguely means 'castles'. I just don't know which language could have given 'Casto', but almost certainly not french where the final 'o' is quite rare. Perhaps more italian/spanish? Eventually provençal but I somehow doubt it. In any case I much prefer my version than a beaver's anal secretions! Geoff

Hi Everyone, I'm looking for the origins, of Cuccia and Drago Both Sicillian I believe Thanks, Debi Cuccia

Sorry, forgot to include this one in the previous posting. DRAGO (Italian) A form of DRAGON, a nickname or occupational name for someone who carried a standard in battle or else in a pageant or procession. The word was applied in Late Latin to military standards in the form of a windsock and hence resembling a snake, which the word "dragon" means in Middle English and Old French. ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.

Hi-I have some printed material on the Byrne name. One thing I did was a small printed booklet on the Byrne and Kelly family. I have read the Byrne's /Byrnes to the Irish coast from Spain.. They are pretty interesting....some of the Byrne's in Ireland went directly to Australia, then to the San Francisco area.
