CURRIN: This purely Irish descriptive name is probably as old as Ireland is a diminutive of the word CARRA meaning "spear" and in its -oldest form was written meaning, "descendant of little spear." The significance of the meaning is not known for sure, but it is thought that it might have been applied to an outstanding spearman The name is found throughout Ireland and has many variations in spelling such as CARRAN, CURRAN (the most usual, CURRANE, CURRAIN, and KIRRANE. In most cases, the prefix "0" (descendant of) is used. Simon O'CURRIN was bishop of Kilfernora in 1302, James O'CORREN was bishop of Killaloe from 1526 to 1546, and Andrew O'CURRAN was prior of Glascarrig in 1411.

MILLS (S) This is a place name acquired from once having lived at or near the Old English MYLEN "Mill," or it could signify a worker at the mill but not the miller. Richard de la (of the) ME LLE lived in uxxex in 1201 and Walter ATTEMILLE lived there in 1242. John atte MULLE lived in Somersetshire in 1327 and Jc'm MYLE lived in Lon-dc, John MILL, bjorn in Wer uoreland about 1645, put.ished the first critical edition of the New Testament John Stuart MILL, born in London 1 1810 of a Scottish fathe as a noted writer on philosop. and economics. In Scotland, Johne of MYLL "dwelled at the Justice myll" in -Aberdeen in 1491.

In 1503, John of MYLE "at the myle of Pit-capile" in Aberdeen was ao custed of causing a disturbance. JameS MILL, born in For-fanshire in 1773, father of John Stuart MILL, was the son of a shoemaker. He entered the University of Edinburg in 1790, studying philosophy and divinity.

Ralph Tele lived in Nottinghamshire in 1231. Robert Tele lived Worcbestmhire in 1175. German le (the) Tele lived in County Essex In 127.

John Teel lived in Somersetshire in 1435. Richard TeaH and Mary Haselwood were married in SL George's Church, London 1743. Burke's General Armorv The Old English word preost denoted a "priest" in the sense of a clergyman, but it is impossible to say whether or not the person bearing the name was actually a priest, one who acted the role of a priest in a pageant play or if it was an ironical nickname. In England, Aelfrige Preost, Asci Preost, Baldwin Prest, Robert le (the) Prest, William Prost, Henry Prust, Robert le Preast, Hugh le Prist and Walter Preyst lived in the period 963-1332. In Scotland, John Prest of Peebles, a soldier, was a prisoner of the English Army in 1306.

William Priest, a shoemaker, lived in Ratanch in 1703. Burke's General Armory, describes the various arms. Degory 'Priest arrived in Massachusetts on the Mayflower, but in 1621 and James and John were living there in 1643-57. Walter Priest and John and Thomas Prest were living in Virginia in 1623-65. John Priest of Massachusetts was an officer in the American Revolutionary Army.

LITTLE LEYTL(E) This descriptive English nickname is from the Old English word LYTEL "little, small." The men or boys so called might not have all been small, some could have been very large just as we often call a very fat person "Skinny." In England, Eadric Litle lived in Northumberland in 972 and Lefstan Litle lived in Suffolk in 1095. William le (the) Litle, Wiscard Litil, John le Litle, and Julian le Lytel, all lived between 1270 and 1275. Thomas le -Lytil lived in Sussex in 1296. As an example of how the word was used, we find two men of the same name listed on the 1379 Yorkshire Poll Tax Rolls on the same page; "Johnannes de (of) Bland; 'Johannes de (of) Bland; Johannes de Bland, littil." In Scotland, the early forms were Latinized. Hugo parvus -(little small) was the royal clerk around 1190.

Another Hugo parvus burgess of Dundee in 1201 Robertus dictus (called) Lytil lived in Scone in 1332. Martin Lytil held the lands of Cardvyn in 1358. Duncan Petit (French: litle) was chancellor of the church at Aberdeen in 1425 and John Petit, vicar of Lestalrig, appers also as J. Litil. The bequest of Clemens Litil in 1580 was the foundation of the University of Edinburgh library.

Around 1590 the Scottish Littles were a small, but unruly border clan. It is possible that some of the Scottish Uddels and Littles became intermixed due to nonstandardized spelling. The Gaelic names Beggane in Ireland and Begg in Scotland, both meaning "little, small" were often Anglicized to Little. Burke's General Armory described the many various arms. Peter and Robert Little were among the ill-fated Roanoke island colonists.

In Virginia, Barnaby, Francis, John and William Little arrived in the period 1625-58. John and William were given land grants of 100 acres each in 1647 and 1655, respectively. and Thomas Little were in Massachusetts in 1630-40 and Richard was in Connecticut prior to 1670. One LittelL eleven Littles and four Lytels were officers in the American Revolutionary Army.
