ArchivesAdd Your Surnames!
I was wondering if people would like to add to the behind the surname database by adding your, your friends, your coworkers, etc surnames? http://surnames.behindthename.com/submit/submit.php
You don't have to worry about the origins, as I and others are editors and can add the information. The surname database is, simply speaking, limited. It would be nice to grow it.

Rauchle...
For the surname, RAUCHLE, I don't know its actual language of origin. The form wouldn't allow me to leave it blank/unknown, so French was my best guess.

Dawley...
The D'Awley (Anglo-French) etymology submission is related to the surname HAWLEY, but I'm unable to make that edit.
