Bachor may b from Nederlands. Bacor sounds German, Mirabal sounds Spanish/Portugese and Versai sounds French. www.last-names.net/ It has 30,000 names. I agree with Michael C, but also had the thought that Versai and Mirabal seems like they could also be Italian. Of course, all this is without actually looking them up to see what they really are. Would be interesting to see how close we are. Many were close, these names are all Castellon from eastern Spain, right next to France, but not French or Spanish! I could only find this about the name "Mirabal", I couldn't find any thing for the other two names, sorry. Mirabal Aragonese: probably a variant of Miraval, a habitational name from Miraval, in Aragon, formed with mirar ‘to look’, ‘survey’, ‘admire’ + vall ‘valley’. Hope this helps. |
