Origin Displayed: Irish

The old Gaelic name used by the sullivan family in Ireland was O Suileabhain, which is partially derived from the word suil, which means eye. The surname probably means either one-eyed or hawk-eyed.

Spelling variations include: O'Sullivan, Sullivan and others.

First found in county Tipperary.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Andrew, Arthur, Daniel, Denis, John, Michael, Patrick, Simon, Timothy and William O'Sullivan, who all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860; Anne, Bridget, Cornelius, Daniel, Denis, Ellen, James, Jeremiah, John, Julia, Mary, Owen, Patrick, Terence and William Sullivan all arrived in Boston in 1849.

English (mainly northern) and Scottish: nickname for someone thought to resemble a fox, for example in cunning or slyness, or perhaps more obviously in having red hair, from northern Middle English tod(de) ‘fox’ (of unknown origin).

and

Williams
English: from the Norman form of an Old French personal name composed of the Germanic elements wil ‘will’, ‘desire’ + helm ‘helmet’, ‘protection’. This was introduced into England at the time of the Conquest, and within a very short period it became the most popular personal name in England, mainly no doubt in honor of the Conqueror himself.

Origin Displayed: English

The name Wakefield is part of the ancient legacy of the Anglo Saxon tribes of Britain. It is a product of when the family lived at Wakefield in the West Riding of Yorkshire. However, the surname Wakefield is occasionally derived from another settlement by the same name in Northumberland. The surname Wakefield belongs to the large category of Anglo-Saxon habitation names, which are derived from pre-existing names for towns, villages, parishes, or farmsteads.

Spelling variations include: Wakefield, Wakefeild and others.

First found in Yorkshire where they held a family seat from very ancient times.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Thomas Wakefield settled in Virginia in 1635; Anne Wakefield settled in Massachusetts with her husband in 1638; John Wakefeild settled in Virginia in 1635.

Motto Translated: I conquer difficulties.

Couldn't come up with anything about my Filipino heritage, though. ;)

The Kennedy family became associated with the south-west of Scotland when 'Cunedda', (which means 'grim-headed'), a chieftain of the Votadini (located in what is now Lothian) was sent to establish settlements there at a time when Gaelic was the main language there. The name is particularly associated with Carrick in Ayrshire. In early times it was a forename and therefore is found initially as 'MacKenedi' and the name is found as early as the reign of William the Lion (1165-1214). The Kennedy's claimed to be related to the Earls of Carrick and supported Robert the Bruce who came from that line. In 1372, King Robert II confirmed John Kennedy of Dunure as chief of the clan and in 1457 John's direct descendant, Gilbert, was created Lord Kennedy. He was one of the regents of the infant King James III. The 3rd Lord Kennedy was created Earl of Cassillis but died four years later at the Battle of Flodden in 1513. The 10th Earl of Cassillis engaged Robert Adam to build the magnificent Culzean Castle at the end of the 18th century. The 11th Earl had settled in America and although he tried to be impartial in the War of Independence, many of his New York properties were confiscated, including Number 1, Broadway which was taken over by George Washington. In the Napoleonic Wars, Sir Clark Kennedy personally captured the eagle and colours of the 105th Regiment of French Infantry at the Battle of Waterloo.



Kennedys spread to other parts of Scotland, in particular to Morayshire and Perthshire. Another branch settled in Lochaber and Skye where they became known as Clan Ulric and became a sept of Clan Cameron. The Kennedy name also arose in Ireland (notably the ancestors of President John F Kennedy) and many Irish Kennedys emigrated to Scotland.
The clan motto is "Avise la fin" (Consider the end).
The Carrick and Cassels families are regarded as septs (sub-branch) of the Kennedys.


Kennedy was the 58th most frequent surname at the General Register Office in 1995.

Yeh the site doesen't have my asian surname

So here it is for my French part..My coat of arms has a snake on the head hmm.



Origin Displayed: French

The prestigious French surname Thibeaux is a proud sign of a rich and dynamic ancestry.The earliest forms of hereditary surnames in France were the patronymic surnames, which are derived from the father's given name, and metronymic surnames, which are derived from the mother's given name. The patronyms were derived from a variety of given names that were of many different origins. As well as the names of the saints of the Christian Church, many of the most common French surnames are derived from personal names of Germanic origin. They derive from the language of the Visigoths, who controlled France between the mid-5th and early 8th centuries. The surname Thibeaux was originally derived from the Old French personal name of Theobald meaning bold or brave.

Spelling variations include: Thibaud, Thibault, Thibaut, Thiboult, Thiboud, Thibaudeau, Thibeault, Thiboutot, Thibodeau, Tibodo, Tibbo, Tibaut and many more.
First found in Bourgogne where they were anciently seated and functioned as officers of the mounted connstabulary (Maréchaussés) of Bourgogne and Bresse.

Some of the first settlers of this name or some of its variants were: Pierre Thibault who arrived in Quebec in 1748 from Guyenne; Charles Thibault arrived in Quebec in 1739 from Ile de France; Guillaume Thibault settled in Quebec in 1655 from Normandy. In Newfoundland, three brothers, Tibbo, originally Thibeau came to Newfoundland via England in the mid 18th century, Jonathon settled at Grand Bank before 1817.
