Looney is an interesting name but up here in Canada it refers to a 1 dollar coin that has a picture of a loon on it, while the Hart family name made me think of the WWE wrestler who had that horrific fall and died a few years back he was from Alberta. And Alderman my last name gave me plenty to think about tonight my friend thanks
Hi, Neighbor and hope all that's failing or falling are leaves. There was a sizable highway patrolman here named Elmore and I had an uncle named Alderman that was in the air force in ww-2 and shot down and a p.o w. So yall remain calm and God Bless ALL yall!
Thanks, Lewie! It's always good to know that these families are well-represented in southern Appalachia! Yes, the leaves are all that is falling around here. I hope this time next week we will have something to be happy about!
@@sandyhawks5240 That might be true, but I'm not leaving out the other form. Phonics works for most people. If that offends you, I will just skip them. It's up to you.
@@BarryVann no sir you are right. I have found it spelled all kinds of different ways. Don't know if it was from a bad speller or the way that Keeton talked, accent.
@sandyhawks5240 It’s just phonics. I have seen a family name spelled four different ways in a rural cemetery in North Carolina. The name was Klontz, Clontz, Klonts, Clonts.
Thank you for your wonderful cultural channel dr Barry. I looked up for meaning and origin of surnames you mentioned briefly here it’s the surname Crawford originated from locative name , possibly derived from a place name composed of the old English elements crawe , scots crawl ( “ crow “ ) and for ( “ ford “) . Examples of such place names include; Crawford, south lanarkshire , Scotland, Crawford, England, Crawford, Dorset , England, Crawford, lancashire , England. Elmore is a masculine name of old English and Anglo - Saxon origin, from the age - old surname Ailmer , meaning “ Elmo ridge or moor “ , or “ noble “ and “ famous “. Alderman surname meaning before the Norman conquest this term denoted a high offical with authority over a district, by the 12 th century it had come to denote a member of the governing body of a city or borough or the governor of a craft guild . Looney is Irish ( Munster ) : shortened Anglicized form of Gaelic luanaigh descendant of Luanach , personal name derived from luan ( warrior) . Hurt is English: variant of hart in middle of English, old English heorot ( hart ) became hurt west of a line running roughly from dorking to Birmingham and this has occasionally survived, though often replaced by the standard hart from hert. I hope you like my research. Good luck to you your family friends.
Another very interesting program! Thank you for continuing to share your knowledge with us.
I appreciate your feedback!
Thanks for the encyclopedia of names you already covered. There were at least 5 family names on the list from both mine and my wife's family tree.
I hope it's helpful.
Very Good!

Could Cranford be the same as Crawford it was just spelled different. We have both in my area
One of my classmates was a Looney...Also, in our county there were four sets of Crawford's, and none of them were kin.
@Ammo08 Families fall out quite often it seems.

@@BarryVann I sure hope so! Past time in my book but my book don't count for much in the scheme of things!
