IN THE LAST QUESTION I MENT BAILEY HOWELL AS IN HOWELL IS LAST NAME if my friend married this guy not middle?

Answer 1

heads up, friend.. your first question went into baby names (as you meant for it), the 2nd one went into genealogy, as if looking for background/ definition.

Oh,.. if your friend married someone named Howell, and her first name is Bailey.. she will spend a lot of time, explaining to persons which is the last name, which is the first name.  That will be true probably, no matter who she marries.

Answer 2

I found this for you.

BAILEY

English: transferred use of the surname, which has various origins. Most commonly it was an occupational name for a bailiff or administrative official; in other cases it apparently originated as a local name for someone who lived near a bailey, i.e. a city fortification, and in others it may be a local name from Bailey in Lancashire, which gets its name from Old English beg berry + leah wood, clearing.

Howell Name Meaning and History

Welsh: from the personal name Hywel ‘eminent’, popular since the Middle Ages in particular in honor of the great 10th-century law-giving Welsh king.

English: habitational name from Howell in Lincolnshire, so named from an Old English hugol ‘mound’, ‘hillock’ or hune ‘hoarhound’.
