Help[Surname] Re: My last name (untraceable)
in reply to a message by KimberlyP
Hi just had a root round for PAVILUS, there are a couple on ancestry.com, i suspect it may not originally be french it could be east european Czech or Polish.
The first name PAVLUS is Latin meaning "Small"(this could throw my first theory out the window). Hope this gives you a start.

I agree, I don't think the name is French in origin though found in France. I was thinking it looked Latvian or Lithuanian, but I don't feel confident about that anymore.
