Americanized form of the Italian family name Taliaferro (cognate with 1), from tagliare ‘to cut’ + ferro ‘iron’, probably applied as a nickname for a metal worker or a fierce fighter (see genealogical note). hope this helps. http://worldconnect.genealogy.rootsweb.c... has 9,000+ entries for the surname http://www.familysearch.org/eng/Search/f... has 134 My "Tolliver" line started out as "Taliaferro" from Italy. I have gotten back to 1530 with that line. |
