[Facts] FUSE
Okay, can't find a think of the name FUSE. My 9th great-grandfather (1580-1640) was Norwegian. Probably a cognate of a more popular name, but I can't figure out which one.

Hej again,Fuse is a short form of Old Norse names ending with -fús. The meaning of fús is "willing, unhesitating".
Examples for full names are Sigfús (victory + willing, unhesitating) and Vigfús (battle + willing, unhesitating). The Icelandic equivalent is Fúsi.Regards, Satu

Satu:Thanks for the response. This is facinating. However, your answer didn't come across on my screen right. It has boxes and symbols in it that don't make sense. Are there international characters you're using?
