De-Anglicisation of Names

[slohairt]

I will bite, my father is Owens and mothers is Nevins

OWENS Usually Welsh, from Ap Owain meaning 'son of Owain'.

NEVINS I believe this to be the same name as Nivens. These names is Anglicised from Mac Naoimhin (MAC NEEV-IN) or Mac Naomhain (MAC NAEV-IN) which mean 'son of Naomhan (little saint)'.
