ArchivesRe: Irex and where... Jim
in reply to a message by Jim Young
The form suggests a Latin origin, i at first thought this must be a variant of another name but nothing could close could be found.
Is it originally a English name? here i'm unsure but i have found a few previously on the Suffolk/ Norfolk border in East Anglia
Irex Road in Pakefield, Lowestoft, i have found no connection with the boat wreck, which was several hundred miles away, this would seem unlike.
That stuck where to look next....

I still haven't found a reference to an English person surnamed Irex. Reaney and Wilson list the surname Rex, or Recks, which they explain as "dweller by the rushes".
