I am interested in in the above ,Thank you. Quidquid latine dictum sit,altum viditur.

ELLIOTT 1. English: diminutive of ELLIS. 2. English & Scot.: from a Middle English given name, " Elyat, Elyt". 3. Scot.: Anglicized form of the Gaelic surname "ELLOCH, ELOTH", meaning someone who lived near a dam, mound, or bank. VARLEY ( English) of uncertain origin, probably a habitation name from "Verly" in Aisne, Picardy, so called from the Gallo-Roman personal name "Viriliou" + the local suffix "-acum". The surname is now most common in W. Yorkshire. CHAPMAN (English) a merchant or trader (from an Old English word meaning "barter, bargain, price, property" + "mann" man). STOCKTON (English) someone from any of the places, for example in Cheshire, County Durham, Hertsfordshire, Norfolk, Shropshire, Warwickshire, Wiltshire, Worcestershire, and N. and W. Yorkshire, so called from Old English "stocc" (tree trunk) or "stoc" (dependent settlement) + "tun" (settlement, enclosure). It is not possible to distinguish between the two first elements on the basis of early forms. SHIELDS 1. English: an armourer. 2. English: someone from places in Northumberland and County Durham (now both in Tyne and Wear) called respectively "N and S Shields", from a Middle English word meaning "shed, hut, shelter". Some examples of the name may be topographic, derived directly from the vocabulary word. 3. English: someone who lived near the shallow part of a river. 4. Irish: Anglicized form of "O'Siaghail, O'Siadhail" (descendant of "Siadhal"). CHERNAY - couldn't find this one as written. Did find two possibilities: \ CHERNEY, CHARNEY (Czech-Slav.) The dark complected man. \ CHENAY, CHENEY, CHENE (French) someone who lived near a conspicuous oak tree, or in an oak forest. The name may also have sometimes been a nickname for a man with a "heart of oak". ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.
