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.
