ArchivesRe: Celtic christian name ?
in reply to a message by Beverley
A dry dam or levy. It is a manmade place which is used as a bridge or a boundry between fields,pastures, and different types of crops or herds of animals. It may or may not contain water.
In South Texas we call them levies, stock ponds and cisterns. They catch rain water in summer drought and divert flash floods of nearby streams and rivers and hold ground seepage from underground unseen ssprings in watery sections.
I wouldn't think it would be different in other places of the world.
I did a name study for a friend of mine whose name is Beverly and basically found that name to mean : finished or chisled from the leftovers or dregs. Considered good or bad only the bearer of that name knows, my friend was not sure how to take it, but lived the same.
