Help[Surname] Re: Yeargin/Yeargain
in reply to a message by Rick Kitchen
A lot of research has been done on this and nobody's been able to figure anything about the origin of this surname. There are no Yeargins or Yeargains in England. According to the information at http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~yearg/Welcome.html, there's no evidence that the first bearer of the surname in the US came from Wales.
It's been proposed at http://www.ancestry.com/name-origin?surname=yeargin that the origin is German Jürgen but that's pure speculation.
