[Facts] Latinization of the name Tourneau
Again, thank you in advance of whom ever is able to latinize the name of Tourneau, what I do know is that it is of old french origin "Le Toruneau", which comes from late Latin "Sturnellus", which is a diminutive of classical Latin "Sturnus". So again I hope this helps, and anyone who can do this thank you.

Why wouldn't STURNELLUS be its Latinization?(Does it really mean "Sneezy?")

I am not expert enough to be considered a source of confirmation, but if your etymology is correct, that would be my best guess.
