History of "Pumpfry"
3 generations of males in my caucasian family have used the middle name "Pumpfry". I can not find anything on this name. Help, anyone?

Our Welsh Lady Merriment may confirm or correct this, but...
..."Pumpfry" appears to be a variation of "Pumphrey" which, according to Elsdon C. Smith of *The New Dictionary of American Family Names*, is a Welsh surname meaning: "The son of Humphrey (supporter of peace)"

I shall confirm it (saith the Lady graciously)....
I've never been a lady before :)

I quite like the sound of "Lady Merriment". Sounds like a title for someone who presides over a medieval banquet or Renaissance faire. :)
