While I have been researching my family history, I have come across several unusual surnames and I have managed to find the origins and meanings of all of these, except from the surname 'Reachelous'. Most of the people with the surname Reachelous (and its many spelling variants- Rachelous, Rechelous, Reatchelows, Rechelows to name just a few) come from the following British counties: Huntingdonshire, Cambridgeshire, Northamptonshire and Bedfordshire. The last record I could find for someone with this surname was the mid 19th century.

Any ideas?
