They soon possessed a vast area of Co. Cork. There were so many Barrys that, to distinguish one from the other, they were known as Barry M?r (the Senior), Barry ?g (the Young), Barry Roe (the Red), Barry Maol (the Bald) and Barry Liadir (the Strong). They aquired titles such as Earl of Barrymore and Viscount of Buttevant. This tipperary town got its name from the Norman French 'boutez-en-avant' ('strike forward'), the rallying cry of the Barrys in their many battles. Like so many of the nobility of the 18th and 19th centuries, the Barrys squandered their money, drinking and gambling until most of their splendid houses were gone. A hunting lodge, Fota Island (in the harbour of the City of Cork) remains, taken over by Cork Univerisity. It is beautifully preserved and the furnishings include many Irish paintings. Surnames: Barry, Barrymore Submitted by: Justin P. Barry Origin of Bar, Meaning of Bar Origin: According to my family our Bartell was originally Barte or Bartee and later became Barta then Barteall and finally Bartell. Most of the changes occured after we immigrated to the U.S. to aid in naturalization (no one could spell it) but no one is sure just when that occured or why. Surnames: Barta, Barte, Barteall, Bartee, Bartell Submitted by: Nicolas Origin of Bar, Meaning of Bar Origin: Seibert has it's origins as a Germanic Patronymic name. It has 40 some-odd variations in spelling and pronunciation. It's original spelling came from two root words, 'siege' and 'beraht', meaning 'victorious & brilliant one, famous'. These two words combined, create the earliest common form of 'Siegbert'. Before World War I and during the Austrian Monarchy, it 'became' predominitely a 'Jewish' name, and for that reason was eventually avoided by non- Jews. It is often confused with the more common name of 'Siegfried', which means 'victory & peace'. Names such as these are cate- gorized as the 'victory' names, used to depict terms of battle or warfare.... Siegbert: Victory-Bright Siegfried: Victory-Peace Sigismund/Sigmond: Victory- Mountain These names are now commonly depicted as Seibert, Siefert, Simmonds, & Simon.... As a Jewish name, these are possibly descriptive of the tribe of Simeon(Shimon)... commonly the Jews used the 1st sylabble of a German name to depict the tribe they were thought to be from, in this case the Hebrew letter 'Shin'.
