GUEST,Quiet Friday | Folklore: Pogue Mahone (119* d) | RE: Folklore: Pogue Mahone | 02 Mar 12 |
On the reabsorption of European names from America - the name 'Floyd' is apparently derived from the pronunciation by Ellis Island immigration officers of the Welsh 'Lloyd'. I wonder if 'Mahoney' might be derived from a slightly lackadaisical registration of Gaelic-speaking Irish immigrants. |
