Origins of Appalachian and Southern Surnames, #44
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 окт 2024
- On today’s show, we’ll investigate the origins and meanings of 10 Appalachian and Southern Surnames. Each of the surnames that we will cover today was requested by members of our RUclips community. To disentangle their surnames' origins, we’ll look back to medieval England, Scotland, Ireland, Wales, Scandinavia, and France.
For a surname catalog (names already covered) submit your request at vanntagepoint22@gmail.com.
Timothy Oliphant is also the great-great-great grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt. I recently started watching “Justified” and looked him up. I was surprised to see the Vanderbilt connection.
That's interesting! Thanks!
I love metal music but no one who loves music could deny Roy Clark was one of the best. ❤
I love metal too. I am currently wearing out Armored Saint and Hellsmoke.
Roy was my neighbor's cousin.
Justified is one of my all time favorite shows, I have the whole series in my video library.
It remains a great watch! Barry
I forgot my dad's Sunday Moore, Kirk, Jarrell, Horn and many more, Atkins. There's lots of Mullins in Pike County, Kent, as was Johnson
My maiden name was here pre-revolutionary war. My maiden name was Basham. My mom’s Maiden name was Tallman and her mother’s maiden name was Sammons. My moms side was here pre-revolutionary war as well.
Hi Patricia, your surnames are already on the list of names to cover, but there a over a hundred names in front of them.
Thank you for covering Clark
My mother's maiden name was Light, but it was the Anglicized version of Leicht. Her dad's paternal line came from Germany via England, and the Isle of Man, to America in 1710. They first arrived in New York and grew from there. Germans changed their names to an English version to better fit in.
The family grew and eventually my 3rd great-grandfather moved to Virginia. After my 2nd great-grandfather died, his two sons were sent to the newly formed state of West Virginia to be brought up by their uncle. That's where my parents met and I was born.
Michael, you are correct. Many Germans anglicized their names upon arrival. Schwartz became Black and on.
Very interesting, as usual, Dr. Barry! I particularly enjoyed your explanation of the Viking-rich north of England. My Ancestry DNA test came back 17%. Norway, but none in my family can find any Norwegian surnames in our family tree. We have traced a few of our ancestors to Yorkshire and Merseyside. This is so fascinating!
Gracie, you would enjoy watching the tv series Last Kingdom. It's always a pleasure to hear from you, Barry
Three things come to mind. Some parts of the United Kingdom were heavily colonized by Norwegians; my grandmother came from a half Viking clan, Maxwell. It is seemingly from that side of the family that some of us have the Swedish variant of a certain blood condition. The people of the Orkney Islands are of Viking descent, and are considered distinct from other Scottish ethnic groups.
Another is that many Scandinavian names were easy to alter to an English counterpart. This is why Johnson is much more common in this country than in Great Britain. It's also easy to see how "-fjord" could change to "-ford".
The third is that family surnames are a historically recent innovation in Norway. In Iceland, your surname is still a patronymic; showing that you are the son or daughter of your father's given name.
My great-grandmother was Skinner!
That's a fine name to have!
Again, Thanks ... you do a terrific job!
You mean me sir or dr Barry please .
Edward, I appreciate the kind and supportive words! Barry
@@BarryVann Gra-ham as in Robbinsville!
Excellent series. Love your anecdotes associated with some of the surnames.
Thanks, David. That's mighty kind of you to say! Barry
Funny, I just started watching Justified last week, already into the earlier episodes of season 2.
Thanks for all you do to help us out and I hop you're feeling better.
Hi Janice, I'm stable. I have a blood condition called Polycythemia. They are trying to see if it is a form of cancer. On top of that, I am scheduled to get a new hip on the 13th of October. There is light at the end of the tunnel. Barry
Thanks again, Dr. Vann!
You are welcome, Lin Lippy! Barry
Thank you for posting Light!
My pleasure!
This was wonderful to hear of the Clarks. Thank you!
Thanks for listening
My mom’s maiden name is Clarke. Wonder what the difference is.
@@samanthab1923the E at the end denotes English origin.
@@chomama1628 That’s interesting. Thanks 👋
Hi Barry, I really enjoy and look forward to your shows. I have a few surnames you can look up. PINSON, MAYNARD, and STATON. Thanks and God bless!
Thanks for the info!
Great video! Liked & subscribed!
Thanks for the sub! Barry Vann
Thank you!
You're welcome!
Thanks for another interesting and informative post.
Thanks for watching, Harry!
Thank you for another great episode !
Glad you enjoyed it! Barry
Hi Barry! I was just catching up on the last few videos. The info on the Melungeon Mystery was very interesting. Have you ever heard of a group of blue skinned people living in eastern Kentucky? I saw something recently about that and was wondering if that is true. Thank you for all your videos. I find each and every one so interesting.
Yes I have: The Blue Fugates of Kentucky. Thanks for writing, Joan! Barry
@@BarryVann
I wondered if that was true. My mom worked with a man whose name was Gabe Fugate. He was from eastern Kentucky but his skin was normal color. That’s why I wondered if it was true.
Great bunch of names today
Hi Rose, I'm glad that you liked them. Barry
BTW, this is an awesome series!!! Thank u.
Glad you enjoy it!
Roy Clark could play it all: country, classical, jazz, rock, zydeco-all.
Sorry to digress 😀
Always a pleasure to learn from you, Barry! YOU are so awesome! Plus, this is very fun waiting to see and hear the names that come up! We had two today, Fitch and Clark! So fun!!!
Thanks, DD! Barry

You are welcome, so very pretty! Barry
I have binged watched all the surname videos. I enjoyed each of them. Can I add Fisher and Branch to your list. Thank you so much for the information you share with us.
Hi Dorothy! Both names are already on the list, but they are not together; there are quite a few names in front of them. I appreciate your patience as I make my way through them. Kind regards, Barry
Go to Tazewell and Buchanan County Va an you will find a few Rameys.
Good one, thanks.How about Long , Blassingame and Judkins.
Thanks, Debbie!
I have friends here named Clarke. They are from Pennsylvania and have tracked their ancestors to Ireland. I have cousins, Clark who are Scottish.
Hi Chris, are you in Ireland? Barry
Clark/ clarke can also be found in early days of the Virginia colony around jamestown and surrounding counties of king William and New Kent,va. In 1600's through mid 1700's.
My jones intermartied with clarks.
Interesting. My moms a Clarke.
Today's surnames were really interesting because there were a number of them I've never seen before. And I'm a senior citizen who has moved frequently.
That is a good observation! There are almost always one or two in a show that I had not seen until they were requested. Barry
One of my best friends lives a few doors down from Timothy Olyphant in Brentwood. His wife and my wife used to walk up by his house to see if they could get a glimpse. No luck but my friend’s wife did see him taking out the trash one morning. Oh, and we are from near Lexington Kentucky so we were dedicated to watching Justified.
That's a great story and show. Thanks! Barry
love Roy Clark.
Thanks, Mechell! I hope you are doing well.
Thanks Barry and hope all is well in the sunny state of Powell Valley. Sunny here too and leaves are turning and starting to fall. Got to go mopw but the crickets are hollering right loud so frost won't be long. Been raised with a batch of Ramey's so all is well but still no comments received. As Toots sais, they can still sit on it. Be BLESSED, Brother!
Thanks, Lewie! I hope the good Lord smiles on you and yours today! Barry
my family arrived in the colonies in 1640's and settled in surry virginia from knighsbrige england. around 1740 they moved to johnston county N.C where a good portion still live.
Michael, I knew some Barefoot folk in Charleston, Mississippi.
@@BarryVann i don't know them. ask them where their grandparents were born. i'll bet it was north carolina.
A boarder in my part of the world is someone who rented a room in a private home ,and got provided with meals and laundry .In England they were called lodgers. A 'star boarder' was someone who outstayed their welcome and couldn't or wouldn't pay the rent.
Just emailed for the list of names covered, but in the meantime... Here are my family names in case you haven't covered some of them yet: Ray, Wofford, Saylors, Wright, Williams, Chapman, Hurst, Reese, Lillie, Culver, Barger, Stringfield, Ingle, Robbins, Pye, Crump. Some seem to be unique. Hope you can cover them soon. Love the series!!!
David, it looks like you are in luck for some of those names are already on the list. There are hundreds that are on the list to cover. I appreciate the kind words. They mean a lot. Barry
How are you doing dr Barry as always iam gathering main information about topics you mentioned briefly here it’s oldest English surname on record was actually from East Anglia . Surname in medieval England had meaning and history attached to them . They started simply as additional name and later were regarded as family names as today . Using of surnames became prominent following Norman - conquest in 1606 , when the population began to grow expanding. The Irish and welsh rulers kept this system and didn’t adopt surname. The first English monarch to use hereditary surname was Edward 1v . Anglo Saxon didn’t have surnames in same way that we do today , they distinguished between two people with same name by adding the place they came from or job they did or their first name , for example woman named Edith who in town of black Bourn would be known as Edith of... .
Hi Khatoon, the Norman Conquest happened in 1066.
Not sure if annyone mentioned in the comments but Pike County Kentuckys own Patty Loveless is Patty Ramey from Elkhorn City KY.
Nope. No one mentioned that, but I did cover Ramey too!
I have neighbors with the surname Skinner and Board. My line is Scottish ( McDonald, Graham, Cunningham, Wallace,) Irish-- Murphy, Spanish, Welsh--James, Native American through Tecumseh, English,
Polish, German, French, Dutch and French Hugenot.
Nice to hear from you. Thanks for the comment! Barry
@@BarryVann Thank you!
My. Paternal grandmother. Name was Johnson. Then I was told told some black dutch. She eas born in Chattsnooga snd gsmikt nw GA lookout mtn area
Johnson in that part of the country, if the family was here before the Civil War, is most likely Scottish.
My family is from Harlan KY. Lyttle, Gay, Asher are some of the Surnames
Thanks for watching and for writing, Amber. Kind regards, Barry Vann
I loved Justified, what a series! I remember starting out you just HATE Boyd and then you start feeling for him and the exchange between Boyd and Raylan was always priceless. I still use some of those quotes. Ava and her shotgun pointed at Boyd eating fried chicken 🐓 was just great 👍 Boyd: Cause we dug coal together.
Yes, it was captivating! He did warm on me, too!
@@BarryVann what is funny in Remy is the real origin, dweller who living in woods, and feared monster is pure blood ROMA of europe. bushman of europe who were forced out of forests in 1920's central europe
so REMY is a roma family , sure swarty appalachian melanated /melungeon ones
Thank you for getting to my name I will add that Skinner is also possibly from the Scottish Gaelic skene for hide from the same reasoning of the Norwegian terminology it was also a common alias of clan Gregor members escaping persecution and the fact they worked with cattle 😁
Bob Skinner is a Scottish Detective in Quintin Jardine's novels set in Edinburgh.
Blake, I thought that "skene" was a Scottish dagger as well as a surname. In fact, that's how Collins Dictionary defines it.
@Blake Skinner Im assuming that they were Travellers who were avoiding persecution
@@BarryVann you're right I had must have gotten it mixed around in my head still i know i read that it has possible similar origins to becoming the name Skinner as a tool used in the trade that signifies the trade that turned into the last name as it was anglicized
@@blakeskinner3878 I always enjoyed how Carroll O Conner called out "Skinner" on the Heat of the night TV show🙂
Father's blessings brother Barry💪😎
Many thanks, brother! Barry
Speaking of Hee Haw, my grandmother was a cousin of the Samples family, as in Junior Samples, on her mother’s side. I doubt she ever knew it; she lost her mother when she was very young and didn’t get the family stories. It’s a pity she didn’t know because my grandfather loved Junior Samples and would have been pleased as punch.
Hi Luann! Junior was the genuine article! Barry
Would you please do video on the meaning of the term black dutch. My great grandmother said we were black dutch. The family was from perry mississippi with roots as far back as Jamestown virginia and spread into the carolinas and Alabama. In my own geneological research , we have many melungeon names, im trying to makes sense of it....thank you for a great and fascinating channel.
Many thanks, Dusty! Thanks for the suggestion on the Black Dutch; there's also the Black Irish. They are not the result of black-white genetic mixing. The Melungeons are a specific community of mixed race people in Hancock County, Tennessee. They have typical Appalachian surnames because they have intermarried so often. You mentioned a connection to colonial Jamestown. I am descended from Jamestown's Proctor family. We might be distant cousins.
I am decendent from Bridges Freeman , he is the first of my Freeman line to come from england, he came in his late teens as an indentured servant, 10 years later had a position with the house of burgeous, he arrived sometime near to the massacre in 1622, i have seen him listed as a survivor . It was my great grandmother Linnie (summuers)Freeman that referred to us as black dutch. I have found where native and african mixed in both the Freeman line and the Summers line.
My mother was Freeman on her maternal and Hooker on her paternal. My great 11x grandfather was founding father rev thomas hooker of hartford conn. Through his line i have traced us to the mayflower. LT JOSEPH Rogers. I this was family folk lore until my grandfather dwight hooker did the research to prove it, inspired by that claim , i recently traced the line myself.
Thank you again for a wonderful channel.
Roberts as well
My husband’s maternal grandmother’s last name was Ramey. Pike county Kentucky
I think that is where Dr. John Ramey was grew up.
It’s believed in Canada that lightfoot is a native Indian name
Hi Lucy, thanks for watching and for writing. There are many Native Americans carrying European surnames, so it's rather easy to conclude that the surname in question is Native American. I have the same issue with my own last name; it's thought of as a Cherokee name. Lightfoot is English and it has been in the Irish records since the Medieval era.
Wow I never would have thought that thanks
What an interesting channel. I just found it. My name is Walkem. I don't know where it came from, but I do there are not a lot of Walkems.
Take a look at Woolcombe; it's a Devonshire England surname.
My ancestors go back to England, then Normandy, then over to Sweden from the Island of Goteland. Geat, Mergeat,Marrot Marriott Merritt.
That's some serious ancestry over time. Thanks for writing!
All the townsfolk in Hot Fuzz had names that ended in ER. Draper, Cooper, Shooter, Farmer,
The name Clark is derived from the word cleric. Clerics could makes extra money from the nobility in early by hiring out to them to take care of their record keeping and letter writing because during the dark ages and in to the early renaissance many nobles didn't read or write well.
A cleric would certainly by a member of a religious order. Thanks, Earl.
I have looked into both of my sides of the family of Clark, Brandon and Berk. I understand why so my Irish and Scots settled in the south because it looks a lot like Ireland. The Brandon and Clarks have been here before the Civil War. The Berks didn't come over until 1833.
Yes. They could carryon with life as they knew it.
Some surnames are Newsome, Compton, Coleman, and Branham
I have season one of Justified
Please do the surname Owen if you haven't already, thanks
Hi, Tim, I covered Owens in the first episode. The s refers to a pluralized form of Owen, or it could mean the son of Owen. I think you will find that it is Welsh.
I like the book display bud 👍😎.
Thanks, mate!
Jonathan Ramey and I were at Cumberland as students together. We both majored in math. Recently found out one of my ancestors was adopted and was originally a Ramey/Rémy. Have you covered the names Tipton, Abney, Bishop, Gabbard or Estes yet?
Hi Kimberly, it's always good to hear from someone who has a connection to Williamsburg, Kentucky! I have not covered those surnames. Kind regards, Barry
Last part of my research there are British royal surnames such as Baskerville, Darcy , Neville, Percy , capell , Bryan, Clifford. Some of medieval surnames found in England with their meanings such as brown ( brown haired or dark skinned). Nash ( dweller by ash tree ). Foreman ( looks after pigs ) . Cooper ( wooden bucket maker ). Bennett ( blessed). Bigge ( big and strong). Fletcher ( maker of arrows ). Webb( weaver ). Wood ( dweller by wood ) . God Frey ( god -peace ) . Gregory ( watchful). If you please there are British channel named fact feast have series of Victorian and Edwardian era and major difference between low and high class . We need special episodes about USA history and president’s profiles and their achievements. Ihope you like my research stay safe blessed good luck to you your family friends.
Nice job, Khatoon!
@Khatoon AlSadah speaking of some interesting surnames www.cia.gov/library/abbottabad-compound/FC/FC2F5371043C48FDD95AEDE7B8A49624_Springmeier.-.Bloodlines.of.the.Illuminati.R.pdf
You left out "Lacy"... First arriving in Colonial Virginia in 1690, following the "Flight of the Wild Geese" after their defeat at the Defense of Limerick and after fighting for the King of France. They landed and immediately went to the frontier to avoid the British.
This is the same Lacy/de Lacy family who's ancestor forced the King of England at the point of a sword to sign the Magna Carta...but some dispute this.
Undisputed is that Peter Von Lacy, the highest ranking foreigner to ever serve in the courts of the Czars...is from this same Lacy family when 29 Lacy men were among the first wave of Irish Military Diaspora after their surrender and exile at the Defense of Limerick.
Side Note.. I LOVE ‘JUSTIFIED’ !!! 👍❤️🎉
I hear that it is being resurrected!
If you can , I would like to know about Spires, Youmans and Averitt.
Barry, they are on the list, but the there are two hundred names on front of them.
Great information.
I’ve always wondered about “Teague”
Could it be a derivative of “Montegue”?
No, I am afraid not. I have Teague on the list to cover; I am a great, great grandson of Jane Teague from Sevier County, Tennessee, so I have had my eyes on this surname for decades. Thanks, Barry
Both sides of my family have been in South Georgia long before the Creeks Indian where pushed out of this area
My grandmother was a Fleetwood and a Jackson
It’s been said she was related to President Jackson
But Fleetwood is not heard of to much
Hi Ed, I too am connected to Andrew Jackson through his mom's family (McKamey). See Episode 24 for Jackson.
Mick Fleetwood, the British drummer in Fleetwood Mac
Have you done a video on Rhoten or Rhoton?
Hi Vala, thanks for watching and for writing. Your request for Rhoten is the first that I have received. I plan to return to making videos in a month, so please stay tuned. Barry
I heard you mention the surname evitts in a video... could you please send me more info at your convenience....I know My great grandfather came from the Hancock county Tenn area...ty for the great information you provide... god bless you...
Hi John, I have not covered Evitts to date. I covered Estep. It's in Episode 54. I can tell you that it's a West Midlands (England) surname.
My great grandfather also had double thumbs and I have heard that is a muhlungon trait...sry for the spelling.... there was a Evitts child born 10 yrs ago by a distant cousin and she also had double thumbs on on hand....her family immediately tried to get in touch with My dad as they knew his grandfather had that trait
@@johnevitts1687 Hi John, double thumbs are congenital defects that can occur among any race or ethnic group. It does sometimes run in families, as it has in your family.
I really appreciate you sharing your expertise with me, and also your time... I'm just trying to figure out if there is anything tying us to this group from Hancock county
@@johnevitts1687 Most of them have taken DNA tests. Why not do Ancestry DNA? If you have Sub-Saharan DNA, it will show up. Without that, it's not likely. You can also use their family finder at no extra charge. It can detect up to fifth to eighth cousins. It also allows you to see the ethnicity of your matches. They have sales from time to time. It was in the $50 range this week.
My dad was a Glenn, my mom was a Gallamore
Thanks for watching and for writing, Barb!
Can you do the names Rogers, Price and Welch? You may have already done them but I couldn't find it.
Hi Rita, each of them are already on the list to cover. I have not covered them. Barry
Allman?
Hi Alvin, it's on the list. Thanks! Barry
Lots of Ramey and Ramsey in my line.
Hi Mary, like you, I have Ramsey genes in me.

Thank you
Requesting....surnames....stidham...and....wisener....thanks....
Added! Thanks, Grady! There are several hundred names before them, so I appreciate your patience as I make my way to them. Barry
What about Hardison? I'm having trouble tracking down past my ancestor Jasper Hardison. I see a town of Hardisty Hill in England that maybe we come from but the research is shaky at best.
That explain is also given by House of Names. None of my surname books list that name. It has all the markings of an Anglo-Saxon name, so House of Names might well be correct. Barry
Payne, Poyner, Sims, Tarkenton, Dodson, Kidd,
Hi Cam, Dobson and Payne were already on the list to cover. I've added the other three. There are several hundred names before them, so I appreciate your patience. Kind regards, Barry Vann
@@BarryVann Thank-you and thanks for the reply ! Much appreciated...! You are !!!
@@BarryVann oooh...it's Do"D"son as well.
My last name is Himes. I looked everywhere trying to figure out where it was from. Daddy always said it was German, but there seem to be fewer than 200 Anericans with my last name,and when I joined Ancestry we all seem to be related. My DNA seemed to show the last Himes before we came over the pond was in the 1700s though. I would be grateful if you can help, because the more I look the harder it gets. It's almost like a little German but a lot of Welsh and Irish, and all in Pennsylvania for the last 350 years. My ex husband was Murphy, so that was easy enough, but then my daughters DNA profile came back showing more Irish on my side than her father's.
Joanna, check out the German Heimes.
@@BarryVann Thank you! I had sorta wondered about that
I have Ramey in my family. I have lots of Fitch in there also. And we have Clark. Any chance you know where Fikes Comes in? I have Lots of Scots and Irish in my DNA.
Thanks, Julie! I appreciate the feedback and request. Fike(s) is on the list of names to cover. It should be coming up in the next few weeks. Barry
@@BarryVann Thank you so much.

User, they are on the list of names to cover, but they are not together.
They say “patience is a virtue” so I wait…😊😊😊
I bet that is a virtue in the Marine Corps.
Check out this Marine Arnold Murray from The shepherds chapel Lost tribes of Israel found, kentucky stones, Bat Creek stones, horse's of the Bible, ship's of God, rapture theory,etc.Or Eagle wings ministries, Just Thoughts studies, Smyrna Christian Church in Kokomo.💪😇🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Looking for name Jarrett,Jarrett found freeman ,n,Jarrett my ancestor born 1799 in VA or Kentucky. I'm interested in your meloungen series .grand father was dark with blue eyes he had 5 sisters all blonde and blue eyed his brother had dark features like him. How do I find out more on these people
Do a DNA test to see if you have Sub-Saharan genes. The Melungeon are a small community in Hancock County. Do you have family from there and do you have about 10% African DNA. If you have both, you might just be received in that community as a relative, but I don't speak for them. Lots of Europeans have dark skin and blues eyes, so I wouldn't latch onto anything until I did a DNA test.

Rémy - A slight correction: Rémy is very French, and should be pronounced /ray-mee/, but yes, it was borrowed into English and some people may pronounce it /ree-mee/ and spell it without the acute accent mark from French. A quick lookup shows Rémy as the French name form of Remigius from Late Latin, and Rémy is the French cousin of Remigio in Spanish, Portuguese and Italian. Religious, the source says, is the name form of the word remigis, meaning an oarsman or rower. I would have guessed it was related to Remus, the brother of Romulus, the twin founders of Rome raised by a she-wolf Lupa, in Roman legends. (And all tht is from reading.) But this says Remigius instead. Rémy is a very French name. But I've seen it and a few others used even in the older generations by English speakers, Americans. -- Aside: This reminds me that my maternal grandmother (from Tis and Oklahoma) had a female cousin named Reenie. (That's the only spelling of it I've seen, and spelling back in their parents' generation was, uh, very iffy. At a guess, I would think Reenie might be a mispronunciation and misunderstanding of the French name Renée (feminine) and René (masculine). Both forms are from earlier Renata, Renato (Renatus), meaning reborn, born again, typically in the christian sense. Yes, Renato, Renata, René, Renée are related, the latter from French, the former from Latin, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian. Note some French names and words were borrowed into English back from the Norman (French) Cnquest, while others are more modern, from the 1700's on into the present. Note too, there were French immigrants, both from Canada and Louisiana, but also into the early 13 colonies, the first United States, due to trade, technology, diplomacy, and the American and French Revolutionary and philosophical connections which influenced our American Revolution. -- I've never seen the source claiming Rémy means a sweller in a wooded area, and I don't know any etymology source for that. Rémy is not a Gaelic / Celtic or Gaulish / Gallic origin word nor Frankish Northmen Norman word nor Breton Brittany or British word. (The Bretons or Bretagnards are the Gaelic people formerly of pre-Anglo-sason Britain who relocated to their home territory in Bretagne, Brittany, in northern France.) The Gauls (Gallia) were the Celtic / Gaelic people in Gaul (Gallia) which later became France (Francia, land of the Frankish Germanic tribes). and the Normans were the Northmen, related to Danes and Vikings. In other words, all of Northern Europe was littered with migrations and conquests from the Roman period on into medical times before settling down into modern peoples. The British Isles and France and near France were particularly prone to this.
Enterkin and Holloway (versus Halvey) -- Beware of equating Gaelic (Scottish and/or Irish) names with English names, although it is commonly done. The word-history (etymology) and sources are often completely different, and only equated from rough similarities, sometimes with not even much basis there. I would bet that Holloway and Scottish Halvey are not related in origin. And Holloway, either as a path in a hollow (holler) (a hollow was a word used in English at the time the colonies were founded, thus how it was used in Appalachian place-names), or else that sunken path /road. Either meaning seems equally plausible. -- The suffix -kin was an Old English and Middle English diminutive suffix used for girls or boys or for animals or things that were small, little, young, cute, new. Many English names have -kkin as a suffix, but today we don't even see it as a suffix because it became archaic, unused. So Adkins, Atkins, Aikin, Larkin, Watkins, Perkins, Simpkins, Tompkins, Wilkins, and on and on. Dawkins too. All were related to nicknames plus that -kin for little/cute, like we use -y or -ie today for nicknames. -- But Enterkin is not this, it's from Scots Gaelic somehow,, apparently. --
Bordrer, Boarder -- I believe English has "board" as in a plank, a piece of wood, separately from border (a boundary) or boarder (someone who gets room and board, board being an old term for a table or bench and table, and therefore food, dining, eating.) -- French has le lord, un lord, meaning a side, a border, which was borrowed into Middle English as border. (Bordeaux is unrelated.) So the surname Border or Border could be from any of these, either the English names or the French names. I don't know if there is a German word that's related, or a nmame. I don't speak enough German.
Fitch -- could be related to Fitz- which was the Norman French form of Parisian French fils (son). I think there's another meaning for Fitch, but don't recall where I saw it. But I/m agreeing with the video maker's statement.
Ollis, etc. -- Oh, that, and the English respellings from the Gaelic (Scottish and Irish) sources are definitely Gaelic. The British / English (Sassenachs) had big trouble spelling Irish and Scottish Gaelic names, words, and often just plain substituted something halfway close in English.
Clark and O'Clery -- These all go back to Latin "cleric," and so does the word clergy. A modern clerk is from a secretary, assistant, shopkeeper, someone who could write, tae notes, do arithmetic, bookkeeper, from that educated cleric background. In the Middle Ages, emerging townsfolk and merchant-class and bourgeoisie (just means townsfolk) (burgess), might have their sons tutored by a monk or priest or sent to study at the local church or monastery, because those were the few sources of education, reading and writing. So clerks developed from that background. In Middle English, clerk and clark were pronounced about the same, the eh or ay instead of ah or uh sometimes merged for -er-. So a clark was a clerk and vice versa. And O'Clery is likely from a similar term like cleric, clergy, clerk, borrowed into Irish and Scottish Gaelic (I don't know the etymology for Clery, Cleary, O'Clery, so I'd recommend boule-checking Cleary and Clery and O'Clery with Gaelic Scottish and Irish source material. -- Oh, and Eccles, Eckles, Eccleston -- are related to cleric and clergy too, Eccles, Eccleisastic, Ecclesiastes, mean a church or from the church (Ecclesias). Moder French église, Spanish Iglesias (yes, Julio and Enrique Iglesias) -- all mean a church, originally from Latin. The words got borrowed into English and Gaelic, and stayed from Latin into its daughter languages French, Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, Romanian, and a few others.
Thanks, Ben! Barry
I was married to a Appalachia family named Louthan. They were redhaired Irish but I have found the name is supposed to be English. What do you think?
Hi Sandra, first I want to say that members of the Ledford family have been friends with my mother's people (Cherokee County, North Carolina and Anderson County, Tennessee for many generations. Louthan is a name that belonged to a student had at Lincoln Memorial University. Sadly, he was killed in a motorcycle accident about 15 years ago. I think you will find that Louthan is an alternate form of Lothian, so it it is hence a Scottish toponymic.
Thank you for replying. These Louthan’s were mostly from the tazewell-Sneedsville area. The patriarch was John and wife Bonnie that had a farm about 20 miles up the holler from Tazewell
@@sandraledford4615 I had a student at LMU named Chris Louthan who was killed on a motorcycle. I think he was part of that family.
I am having a hard time finding the origin and meaning of the last name Ingle. Can you help me?
See my comment that you submitted earlier.
My Cousin who lives in Pike Co Ky claims that the Appalachians speak Elizabethen English. I don't think he realises that he speech patterns have changed in the last 200 years in Appalachia. down hill.
Some of the words and expressions of Appalachian English are rooted in the 16th century, but those words have been slowly disappearing from use. Words like yunz and reckon are still around, but we seldom hear words like hankerin to used.
Any info on the name BADGER?
Sharon, it's on the list to cover, but there are quite a few in front of it.
A geographer will spot incorrect landscape elements in a movie!
It's one of the fun things that I like to do, Tom!
ANDERSON? Anyone
Episode One, but there are a few folks who claim that the Anderson surname in the South is Scandinavian. There have been few immigrants from Scandinavia relocating to the South or Appalachia. The bulk of them in the South are Scottish.
