Help[Opinions] Peleg?
While researching my family tree I found many odd names but the one I had absolutely never heard before was owned by Peleg Matteson.
At first I said pee-leg? Yuck! And I couldn't find it anywhere in any name book or database to find out what it meant or where it came from.
Finally the idea to try a Bible concordance led to the right place. I should have thought of that first because this particular branch of the family were Quakers and used many names from the Old Testament.
So it is pronounced pel-eg and means 'division'. In the New Testament it is spelled Phalec (fal-ek). And I've come to really like it and consider using it as a middle name, not a first, a middle. :)
What do you think of Peleg / Phalec and these combos?
Simon Peleg
Matteson Peleg
Aidan Peleg
Ciaran Peleg
Colin Peleg
Michael Peleg
All comments would be gladly welcome! Thanks in advance! :)
