ArchivesRe: The meanings of "Burrell" and "Kakaire"
in reply to a message by Jim Young
Thank you, Mr. Young. I appreciate the information. It means a lot to me to know what my name means. If you can provide some more insight to 2 more names, I'd appreciate it.
Wentz: This is a family name in my maternal grandmother's family
Yarbourough: This was my paternal grandmother's maiden name
Thank you.

Sorry I missed your reply and thanks earlier. Didn't mean to be impolite. Still, you got your queries answered.

Yarborough sounds like an English place name. It probably denotes someone hailing from that area.
The only place that I can find currently in England is Yarburgh which may well be where some of your ancestors may have hailed from. Yarburgh is in Lincolnshire which is in the north/midlands of England so probably a few Vikings in the mix.
As soon as I get access to my research books I will post more information. :)

As a German name Wentz (or Wenz) is a short form of Werner. It may also be from the Old Czech name Venceslav with the two elements "more" and "glory".
