Whats in a name?

Well its 5:39am and I am wide awake. I have been looking at the Baltimore pictures and still have the trip in my mind. Baltimore was a beautiful city to visit, but there were many rude people and drivers that we encountered along the way. It makes me thankful to be a hoosier and to be back home again in Indiana. It was great to see my best friend again and be a part of his wedding. A gift that he gave me for being in the wedding was very cool. It was the history of the Baugh name. I learned that we originated in the countryside of Wales. The surname Baugh is derived from the Welsh word bach, which means little. An interesting fact that I also learned is that it was not uncommon for a person to be born with one spelling, mary with another and have yet another one on his or her headstone. Here are the spelling variations that were of the Baugh name before they settled on Baugh.

It started out Baugh and then Bach, Bagh, Bawgh, Baughe, Bawghe and finally they went back to Baugh.

Blessings till I post again.
