ArchivesNealous
in reply to a message by Maegirl
Sorry it wasn't your question but it struck me that Nealous sounds very like an anglicisation of the Gaelic name Niallghus from Niall + gus ‘vigor’. This would certainly fit with your Gaelic roots. It's not in the database but there's info here as it gave rise to the surname MacNelis/MacNeillage: http://www.ancestry.com/facts/McNelis-name-meaning.ashx
As to Donice I'm stumped. If it was related to the Gaelic Donn 'brown' c.f. Duncan, it would more likely be pronounced with a short o. With an Adolphus though it sounds like your family had a pretty eclectic naming style lol, so it's not necessarily Gaelic.
