ArchivesRe: Name meaning unknown
in reply to a message by Neanus
Well, first, you could answer a few questions to help narrow things down a bit.
1). Were your family’s roots always in America, or do your ancestors have origins somewhere else as well (besides Africa)? Maybe they traveled as slaves from Spain or France or the Netherlands?
2). Did it come from a surname/maiden name?
3). Are you sure that "Neanus" is the only spelling of the name you could find in your family tree?
You don’t have to answer all of those if you don’t know enough, but some extra info would be really useful.
