Surnames: Beaver, Beeber, Biber, Bieber, Biever Submitted by: John W Bieber Origin of Eve, Meaning of Eve Origin: The name Stapelton (as it was invariably spelt before Richard the Second?s time) is Anglo-Saxon. It means a 'trading village;' 'stapel,' a pile or heap, denoting a place where goods were collected and stored for sale?Dr. Johnson defines it, a 'mart or emporium'?and 'tun,' an inclosure or town. It was appropriate to a village like Stapelton, conveniently situated for commerce, on the border-line between the two provinces of Deira and Bernicia, at a point where the river was passable. But the term 'stapel,' or 'staple,' has long since lost its former signification. From being first applied to the place where goods were sold, it was next given to the merchandise sold there, and is now usually understood to mean the product for which the place is best known. The 'tun' was surrounded by an earthen mound tipped with a stockade or quickset hedge, with a ditch outside, and each township was thus a ready-made fortress in time of war.

The name means "of the valleys" the word "vaux" being the plural of "valley" in old French, extant today in the phrase "par monts et par vaux". The progenitor of the name in Old Acadia was Michel. Surnames: de Vaux, Deveau, Devoe Submitted by: Col. John B. Devoe Origin of Eve, Meaning of Eve Origin: The repressiveness of the Turkish regime led Greeks to develop a certain type of "manly excellence," frequently identified as "leventia" (from leventis); or "palikaria" (from palikari). These two terms, like filotimo, are difficult to translate, but altogether refer to the responsibility of the individual under great duress to behave bravely and honorably. The development among modern Greeks of "leventia" may signify the ability in humans even under oppressive conditions to achieve a corresponding type of excellence in overcoming oppression, such as, the necessary personal attributes to endure all types of hardships and humiliations, or eventually to "defeat" the oppressor. Occasionally one hears a modern Greek call another one "leventi," as a show of unqualified admiration, or, if coming from an elderly person, approval of one's action, or encouragement to achieve the type of excellence in one's life that is associated with a leventi. Palikari, on the other hand, connotes a preliminary stage usually associated with younger people who have so far shown all indications of becoming a leventi, but whose physical and mental prowess is not conclusively matched by an equal determination of the heart to fight for what is right. My explanation of the possible differences between the two terms should be considered with great caution, since frequently they are used interchangeably. I am only describing here what seem to me to be some slight differences in emphasis, although in practice Greeks may use one or the other almost indiscriminately. In any event, at least as far as the term palikari is concerned, it is usually associated with a "budding" young male with a "straight back" that at least exudes a leventi like air about him.
