My favourite surname is French and a mystery.
My paternal Family Tree is pretty normal English from South Devon, then back in January 1863, there suddenly pops into the Tree a marriage between a Beniamin Bourgoyne and a Gatherude Rue.
I like to think that they were a pair of star-crossed lovers who had eloped in a fishing boat to marry against parental wishes, and settled in Devon. My little romantic history has made Bourgoyne my favourite surname.

"St. Hilarion".
It works in both languages. It has two words, so it fouls up computer forms. It isn't a noun or a verb, unlike, say, "Pack".

St. HiIarion isn't as well-known as some, but he has his moments. This is from the article in Wikipedia:

His first miracle was when he cured a woman from Eleutheropolis (a Roman city in Palestine) who had been barren for 15 years. Later, he cured blindness, raised children from the dead, healed a paralysed charioteer, and expelled demons. He even cured horses affected by evil magic and tamed a mad Bactrian Camel.

How can you not love a saint who cured a camel?

WHIGHAM,

English and awsome.

I love the name Dompierre-dit-St-Martin. Its a French-Canadian line that is full of musicians, artists and woodcarvers. It's also one of the most interesting French-Candian lines to research because when everyone else was moving westward, they were moving north into the Maritime provinces.
