Isaac Merit Singer is legally my great, great-grandfather. My mother who sadly passed away 7 years ago was legally named Vouletti Olive van Heusen. Vouletti Theresa Proctor Singer was the first legal family name that Isaac named his granddaughter. I have a photograph of her when she was a child. If you don't have a photo of her, I will be most happy to give you a copy. Therefore, Vouletti is strictly a family name. The origin of the name is unknown to our family. We too have tried to find the history behind the name. Isaac Singer sired many children. I believe he was a bit of a(rogue) and a womanizer. As I said our family is legally related to Singer.

Are you a Singer? I am curious. I'd love to hear from you, and if there's any further information I can help you out with, please let me know. I have spent years researching our ancestors. Fortunately, my mother has given me much history she already had.

Kind regards, Sheryl (Sherry) Vouletti williams

Hi
I am a Singer descendant

If not an invented name, the |-etti| suffix (plural-diminutive) suggests that the base |voul| is/was a Latin/Italian word.

---

Another possibility is the plural form of a |vouletto?|, if that word exists.
