Hello, Just wondering if anyone had any information on the following surnames: BEITEL von WITT MAJESKA (Prussian origin) CORCORAN BEGLEY Thanks in advance, Michael Britton-Beitel

BEITEL/BEUTEL = name for a maker of a "Beutel" (bag) von WITT = Witt = white, the von part may denote/denotes nobility Regards, Ingolf Vogel > von WITT > MAJESKA (Prussian origin) > CORCORAN > BEGLEY

I didn't understand the inclusion of BEGLEY in this post, but if its origin is wanted, try the Norman surname, DE BAGULAY, beginning circa 1200 AD. I am in this line which had become BIGELOW, BEAGELY, BAGLEY, BEGLEY, BIGLOO, and a couple of other interesting spellings in the USA after 1700. Visit the BIGELOW genealogical web site for more complete info.

CORCORAN ( Irish) Diminutive of CORKERY, an Anglicized form of "O'Corcra" (descendant of Corcra, a personal name derived from "corcair", meaning purple). BEGLEY (Irish) Anglicized form of "O'Beaglaoich" (descendant of "Beaglaoch", a personal name meaning "small" + "hero"). ---Source: A Dictionary of Surnames by Patrick Hanks and Flavia Hodges.
