My mother in-law just past away, and we now would like to trace back where her name came from....Some family members claim it orginanted from Italy....but some, and well as me think it came from Greece. She looked more Greek, than Itailan. Any opinoins? Does anyone know what the name "Pendola" came from?

All the PENDOLA are italians.

At thr moment the most part of them live near AGRIGENTO, western Sicily. And some near GENOA, Northern Italy.

"Pendola" is Italian. It mean pendulum clock. My great-grandfather's family came from Sicily. However, the surname originates from the Genoa area (northern Italy) where the surname dates back to 1164.

For Karunal see http://surnames.behindthename.com/messages/2362.html
Patel means 'record-keeper' (from 'pat': a plot of land). See http://www.tuhl.freeserve.co.uk/tuhl_history_patel_name.htm for details
