HelpRe: Somerled
in reply to a message by Olwen
Cool name! Somerled piqued my interest because it's close to a surname in my family tree, Summerlin. It turns out they are the same name. So, I learned something today!

"The Viking settlers of ancient Scotland were the first to use the name Somerled. It was a name for the Old Norse word sumarlithi, which means mariner, Viking, summer wanderer, or sailor."
