Question about adding the name Merlaine
My aunt's name is Merlaine, and I really like the name and I wanted to add it to the database. It's a name my grandpa created using his and his best friend's names. His name is Murland, and his friend Lane. The only problem I have is I would need to add the name Murland to the database too and I can't find any information on it. I only know that my grandpa was named after the doctor that delivered him. What shold I do?Little he knows, little he sees...

Murland is an Irish surname, which according to MacLysaght's The Surnames of Ireland is MacMurghalain in Gaelic, ultimately deriving from words meaning "sea" and "valor". You can submit a name by going back to the home page of this site and clicking on the "submit a name" link. But be aware that the owner of this site is very busy and swamped with hundreds of requests to add names to the site, so it may take a year or so before any names you suggest are added. Be patient! :)
