[Facts] Orcas
Hi all,
I wondered if anyone knows anything about the name Orcas. To begin with, is this a name at all? I saw it somewhere, and I believe it's of Celtic origin, but I'm not quite sure.
TIA!

Well, Orca means "barrel" in Latin, but Orkney means "seal islands" in Old Norse, I believe...
Could it be somehow related to Dorcas?
