De-Anglicisation of Names

[Kilted Sapper]

Have you heard of the name Pinyerd

Slohairt, Great thread, went all the way back to the beginning to see if any of our names popped up and did not see them. So if you would please?
Stiverson or Stivesant or Stuyvesant
Woltz
Pinyerd
Mathias
Andrews
Blizzard
Barnes
Fitzpatrick
Stevens
Mcquaid
I know this is a tall order but this brings all the names that I have found back to the 1800's from both sides of the family, thanks in advance, hope you stick around to do this! Great Job on all thus far!

Stuyvesant is a Dutch surname, the most famous person bearing it was the Governor-General of New Netherland, Peter Stuyvesant.

CajunScot, Do you know if the name moved from Stuyvesant from Holland to Stivesant or Stiverson of England? My father insists that the Stiverson name is a deriviate of Peter "Peg Leg" Stuyvesant from Holland? I found one place that shows Stivesant from England and one place for Stiver in Holland but no trace of Stiverson anywhere????

How about Hargis. I have reason to believe it comes from a very common name, MacFhearguis. They are homonyms when you drop the "Mac". The earliest record traced back from my family is a man in England who went by the name Hargiss. It is said the name is so common is because it came from the name Fergus as in son of Fergus. At one time the f was silent. That could be the time when George Hargiss popped-up in England. I am claiming no relation the the Fergus(s)one clan as they claim no relation to me. I found on their own website the clan name pronounced in voice-over as Maghairgish and written as MacFhearghuis.

Sorry this post is so long.

I'm getting curious now!

Could I get a check on Fowles?

Great thread, I have been reading through all of the pages for the last two days; great work.
If you don't mind I will throw in my two cents:
McLard; not very common and best I could find was a shaky connection to McLardy - names of Clan Donald (can the y be dropped and added while Anglicized without change to Gaelic pronunciation or ?) but no paper trail. However, another family story claims that name was changed from MacLeod upon arrival to Virginia early 1800s due to thick accent. Any de-Anglicisation connection?
Great work!

My surname is Boyd. Anglised from the Scots Gaelic "Boid" meaning "from the Isle of Bute".

[MacCathmhaoil]

How about Caufield or Caulfield?

Not sure if the OP is still actively following this thread, but if so I'd like to hear more about the names Cornell and Holmes.
Thanks!
