Hi Betty, "bilieux" still exists in moderne French and means bilious in English.But if you could trace your family back to the Netherlands, I don't think that would be the right root for your name because it would be most likely connected to mine and derived from an old Nordic word which means "nice wolf" or "curteous wolf".Of course, no one knows for sure, it's just a game... I have been able to map the root name back to 924 in Namur, Belgium. Jean-Luc.
