So where did the surname come from? What race? Is the word English or derived from another language, or languages? Does it refer to, for example, internal or external physiological elements of the body; or perhaps a type or types of musical instruments? How far back does the usage of the word go? Does it have a phonetic evolutionary path? All such questions have intrigued the septuagenarian writer since his youth. An attempt to answer them will be made within the present article.
