HelpRe: Three Sets of Twins
in reply to a message by sambchop
What is Paeteaus? I typed it into google, duckduckgo and bing and I got like three articles about this family, a couple of additional misspelled German results (e.g. it found "paete" where in the scanned book it was actually "Poete") and only google showed me lots of, possibly auto-generated, German porn titles. I find it worrying that whatever algorithm decided to serve me these results was really convinced these were two words even though I typed in one and that it was definitely German - makes me think it may really exist or at least be a slight misspelling of a naughty German phrase.
Does anyone know where these parents could have gotten this name from? I would feel much more at ease if I didn't give up German and could really research better if it could possibly really exist or what about it caused these results to be generated the way they were. Either way, less than ideal search results.
Otherwise I love how chaotic this sibset is, I don't hate any of the other names.

I tried searching for Paeteaus too. Google wanted to correct it to "Plateaus" or plateau.
Looking for "Paet" as a word root made me come up with the following.
- Paet as an Anglo-Saxon surname.
- Tagalog word paet, which means chisel.
Paete is a province of Laguna, Philippines.
If the parents are Filipino, then maybe they wanted to honor a place that meant a lot to them. Since -aus could mean from, Paeteaus would be "from Paete."
