ArchivesRe: Name meaning unknown
in reply to a message by Somebody random
Hey, thanks for your post! Here's what I have:
1) Based on DNA Ancestry, dad's side of the family ethnicity estimate concentrates in Africa (Nigeria, Cameroon, Congo & Western Bantu Peoples). Mom's side is concentrated in Europe (Scotland, England & NW Europe, Ireland).
2) Not that I know of. I don't believe it would have been a maiden name, as it was passed down as a male first name. As a surname, possibly, but I only know of two others (my dad and grandfather).
3) Yes, as far as I know, that is the only spelling. Again, I am trying to research further but I've hit a roadblock as far as being able to speak with and learn from my direct family.
Great feedback. I look forward to your reply! Thank you.
