[Facts] Re: Aglovale
Aglovale (or Agloval) is also spelled AGLOUALE ((sometimes called
Aglavale, probably a clerical error).The origin is Welsh:

http://www.family-crests.com/family-crest-coat-of-arms/surnames-7-7/welsh-first-name-meanings.htmlNowhere I found the meaning of this name. Perhaps there is a connection with the following Welsh elements (translated online, so I'm not sure about the accuracy):Welsh agl = "trap"
Welsh o = "of"
Welsh vale = "valley, vale, dale, dell, bottom land"So the meaning of the Welsh name Aglovale COULD be something like "trap of the valley".
