Subject: Froe/Troe?
Author: Ana Taggert   (guest, 98.216.81.56)

This is an English/Scottish last name that runs in my family. It may possibly be Norse. We are unsure of the spelling. It's pronounced "Trough"(like what horses drink from), but my grandmother pronounces Ts and Fs the same, and she's the only one that knew the last living person in our family with that last name.


Does anyone know the meaning of it? Or the origin? Or how common it is?
