ArchivesRe: The last name Fitz
in reply to a message by Chavonne
Hi Chavonne,
Fitz- in combination with a first name makes a surname meaning "son of...", Fitzgerald means "son of Gerald".
Regards, Judith

Okay thanks. I looked up somewhere else and found that same answer. It was supposedly also a name given to illegitemate children.
Especially at a time when many of the orphanages in america were predominantly Irish. I don't know how accurate that is though.
