VARIATIONS OF THE NAME FINN??
Hello there, Finns.
I have a curious dilema. In my Ireland/Ohio geneology research of the names DENNING and MEEHAN.... I have come accross my GGGG-Grandmother's name listed on the death certificate of her daughter.
The death certificate is handwritten, and so her last name is nearly impossible to read. The only letters we are absolutely sure of are the first four, which clearly spell Finn. To tell you the truth, as funny as it sounds.... it looks like "Finnaughty". I searched Familysearch.org for that surname, and to my total amazement.... ONE Finnaughty actually did show up!! It is either an actual name, or a misspelling.
My question for all of you is.... I have run into (as I'm sure all of you have)... amazing misspellings and short cuts of my family surnames that just stuck over the years. Do any of you know the origions of your Finn name?? And the variations of it? Is it actually shortened from a different, longer origional surname?
Can anyone suggest to me ideas of what the name might actually be, if not Finnaughty? Has anyone ever even HEARD of Finnaughty being an actual surname and possible variation of Finn? Do you know of Finn names that are similar to Finnaughty??
I know I am asking a lot here. *LOL* -- I appreciate any help at all anyone may be able to offer.
Thanks, Finns!!
