pretty name too :)

Answer 5

it could be a corruption of the name.

Back in those days when many people were illiterate names were changed or veried. Sometimes it was on purpose due to family feuds.

I have also heard of cases where one person would be on the run from the law or whatever and he would just assume a new name. So where you may grow up thinking your family name is "Smith" some great-great grandfather may have been "Jones" but changed his name.
