| Question: Need answers please! Last name history? Posted: 08 Sep 2015 04:33 PM PDT Ashley is right. Here is what the Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press says; basically the same thing, but bigger words. Mercado Name Meaning I'm pretty well-read, but I had to look up "metonymic". It means: a figure of speech that consists of the use of the name of one object or concept for that of another to which it is related, or of which it is a part, as "scepter" for "sovereignty," or "the bottle" for "strong drink," or "count heads (or noses)" for "count people.". (Merriam-Webster) So, a non-metonymic occupational name would be "Merchant", not "Market". Some Jews were shop keepers, but so were lots of Christians. With three exceptions, there are no exclusively Jewish surnames; with some exceptions there are no exclusively Christian surnames, either. Since they were Spanish, chances of them being Buddhist are slender; they were either Jewish or Christian.  |
| Question: Where does the last name BARON come from? I assume Germany maybe? Posted: 08 Sep 2015 11:38 AM PDT This is from the Dictionary of American Family Names Baron Name Meaning English and French: from the title of nobility, Middle English, Old French baron, barun (of Germanic origin; compare Barnes 2). As a surname it is unlikely to be a status name denoting a person of rank. The great baronial families of Europe had distinctive surnames of their own. Generally, the surname referred to service in a baronial household or was acquired as a nickname by a peasant who had ideas above his station. The title was also awarded to certain freemen of the cities of London and York and of the Cinque Ports. Compare the Scottish form Barron.English and French: from an Old French personal name Baro (oblique case Baron), or else referred to service in a baronial household or was acquired as a nickname by a peasant who had ideas above his station.German: status name for a freeman or baron, barun 'imperial or church official', a loan word in Middle High German from Old French (see 1).Spanish (Barón): from the title barón 'baron' (see 1).Irish: Anglicized form of Gaelic Ó Bearáin (see Barnes).Jewish (eastern Ashkenazic): ornamental name meaning 'baron', from German, Polish, or Russian. In Israel the surname is often interpreted, by folk etymology, as being from Bar-On 'son of strength'. Source: Dictionary of American Family Names ©2013, Oxford University Press |

| Question: What country or nationality of people mostly settled in this area? Posted: 07 Sep 2015 02:44 PM PDT A goodly number of my Pack ancestors came from Monroe County, which is one county over from McDowell. They were English, Scotch-Irish and Huguenot. But, the only way to tell where your ancestors came from is to research them, one generation at a time. If your 5th great grandfather was the only Huguenot in a sea of Scotch-Irish, for instance, you'd probably like to know that. |
