ok. thanks for the hunch, it probably is a latin name and i hadn´t really thought about the resemblance to the word tranquil. well, if i´m bound to be unsure about it, i guess tranquil is a nice enough meaning!thanks!

I have discovered that it is from HONOLULU, Haway Islands.
This surname is extremely rare in USA.

thank you! not only is it a rare name in the US, but even in Portugal i have to tell most people how to pronounce it. hence my curiosity as to where the name came from.:)
