My maiden name is Knapp with the K pronounced but when I started school the teachers, etc., dropped the hard K. When my mother's husband adopted me, my name was changed to Kocsis and that too is a hard K but when pronounced the Hungarian way it came out sounding like Cochise, the famous Indian warrior lol so people didn't know how toElizabeth Clementshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16553904624219542353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-21217765677062130502021-09-22T07:34:14.773-05:002021-09-22T07:34:14.773-05:00I love genealogy, so enjoyed this post a lot.

It apparently means 'east manor.' My own name is Nic Loideain in Gaelic. That's a bit more interesting. It means 'daughter of descendent of Lugh, God of everything. Lugh was a warrior king of the Tuatha Dé C.A.Asbreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12342631407475364397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8927727476793944291.post-53213754211820818182021-09-22T02:10:13.766-05:002021-09-22T02:10:13.766-05:00Really interesting, Ann!
