Surnames
Re: Surnames
Very interesting indeed! Apparently, I have the 844th commonest surname in the world. It's most prevalent in the USA, but its greatest density is in Wales (where it is the 9th commonest name). As for the English Heritage link, it appears to be commonest in Lancaster, although I don't believe I have any family connections with there.

There are a few 'meanings.'Boatbuilder wrote: ↑27 Mar 2022, 12:22Not necessarily, Wayne.Wayne Pyer-Tyglas wrote: ↑27 Mar 2022, 11:07 Hi Nigel. To say someone is belonging, is to say that they are family or related to you.
I think Nigel got it spot-on as I indicated in my previous post.
