Reply to: The origin and meaning of the surname "Canty" by T. Canty
FYI, thanks for the info. I am researching my ancestry, and I do know for a fact that African Americans share this name too; my Canty family is from South Carolina.

I also found out that some Caucasians distinguished the spelling of their Canty surname by spelling it as Cantey, while African Americans commonly spell their surname as CANTY.
