How to pronounce Parrigin? | |
| 6 entries | |
Pronunciation of Parrigin in South Central Kentucky, USA
| uh | is pronounced as | u | in up |
Phonetic Spelling:[ PAER uh jihn ]
uh
up
Type of Name:
Last
Language:
Possibly French? Probably Irish-English?
Gender:
Male, Female
Alternate Spelling(s):
Parrigan
Meaning:
none known
Additional Information:
No direct info available. Nothing solidly Irish has been found, irrespective of the tendency to connect it to a clan name like 'Harrigan'. Native Italians have taken it as 'Parisian' as in 'I'm from a big French city'.
Possible scenario: An illiterate 16th-17th century backwoodsman in colonial America was asked for his name. When he responded 'Pettijean' (Little John), it was transcribed to suit the slightly more literate recorder, according to his take on the accent. While this may be a reach, it is entirely plausible (Have you ever dined at an ethnic restaurant?). I hope the name is not French.
In view of the fact that there is nothing solid here, we like to claim that our ancestors were wealthy aristocrats who abandoned us, and were subsequently adopted and raised by a kindly family of poverty-stricken possums, thus our hillbilly heritage.
We would like to know more, please.
