No, the name is not Russian, Polish, Chinese, Greek, or Turkish--or any other foreign language--unless you consider English to be foreign. That’s right, it’s English. This odd name is an old name dating back to the 13th century.
Why did I list all the above spellings in the heading? These are the different ways my ancestor’s names were found on various documents, so I am covering all the bases.
 |
FAZAKERLY: Our line of the family spells the name without the last "e". We pronounce it “Fa-zack-ly”. My father told me the “er” in our name is silent. |
|
FAZAKERLEY: I was told from family stories passed down that the last “e” in our name may have been dropped. (This appears to have occurred somewhere between New York and Chicago.) |
|
FAZACKERLY: My aunt has a cup that belonged to her father that had his name on it and it was spelled with the “c”. Because of this she thought it was possible that our name may have had a “c” in it at one time. More than likely, the name was misspelled. |
|
FISACKERLY:
My great, great grandmother’s name was found spelled "Fizakerly" on a list
of applications for marriage licenses in Memphis in 1864 when she remarried. Even
though there were "Fisackerlys" living nearby in Mississippi and
elsewhere, I believe the spelling was a simple mistake. This is the
only document and
only time I’ve found, so far, that used the "Fi"
spelling for my family. |
