One of my ancestral names that I'm curious about is Bethea. A search online for the history of the surname yields conflicting information. The site "House of Names" has it as a Scottish/English border name, but the "Bethea Family" site suspects a French origin. As a fun fact, one branch of the Betheas in South Carolina pronounces the name with three syllables, while most Bethea lines pronounce it with two.

Jeb, I have not covered it, but I can tell you that its origin is a blend of English and French. The et on the end is French diminutive. It's a diminutive of Hew, which is a common way to spell Hugh in Scotland. It's not among the common surname in Wales, but it is quite common in Ulster and eastern Scottish Lowlands. It's also in Dublin and Munster. I would think that could be Scottish or Irish. It's not Welsh.

They were escaping Catherine De Medici’s war on Protestants. On my mother’s side, they are Burns and Jones. I know I have Welsh ancestry and Jones is prevalent there. By the way, I’ve heard that “Burns” is a Sept of Clan Campbell. I was born in Lynchburg, VA which was right outside of Campbell County. We certainly had A LOT of Campbell’s everywhere!

Teresa, you have nothing for which to apologize. I found your observations interesting. Burns is a Scottish name. A burn is a creek. The Campbells are from Argyle.

There was a longstanding feud over there between the MacDonalds of Glencoe and the Campbells of Argyle.

Couple of names I'd like to see if you can comment on: Kuykendal, which seems to have about a half-dozen different pronunciations, and Funderburk, which seems to be most common in the SC Midlands and Upstate. I first heard Funderburk as a character in the TV miniseries Chiefs, with a character named Foxie Funderburk, played by Keith Carradine. Some years later I ran into the fellow who was the linguist consultant for the series, and he related how he was asked to demonstrate a "Southern" accent. He related how he asked which state?, what part of the state?, town or country?, wealthy/educated or poor/uneducated? , what period of time?. The person who contacted him responded that he thought all Southern accents were pretty much the same, to which the consultant replied that, in order to be understood, obviously he'd have to answer in an ignorant Northern accent!

Of course, I’ve not heard of it in Appalachia. It was rare in Central VA where I grew up🤷🏼♀️. My “Eagle” isn’t Native American. The most I can find is England 🏴. It was first recorded after William The Conquerer and the first name belonged to one of his Norman Knights who received land in East Anglia. The “Eagle” name is still a surname in the UK 🇬🇧.
