Surnames: Sandelier, Santoleri Submitted by: Sandi Sandelier Blankenship Origin of Lie, Meaning of Lie Origin: It is very unlikely that there is a single origin to the name, despite many people believing that "all Hollyers are related". There are some early 14th century references to a Robert le Holyere and Adam Holiere which might suggest a Norman origin. One source does make this assertion, based on the Norman Osmund Hoielor of 1108. Surnames: Hollyer, Holyer, Hollier Submitted by: Peter Walker Origin of Lie, Meaning of Lie Origin: Liesendahl is the mainden name of my mother and all the members of this can family can be traced back to the first person of this name.

The family in America was founded by Nathaniel Ely, born in the year 1605, supposedly in Tenterden, County Kent, England, of an excellent old English family. The Ely family in England dates back to the hereditary surname epoch (1250-1450 A.D.), when second, or family names first began to come into general use. The name has two distinct derivations, as is proved by that peer of etymologists and orthographers, the late Charles Wareing Bardsley, honorary canon of Carlisle Cathedral and vicar of Ulverstone, in his monumental "A Dictionary of English and Welsh Surnames" (Second Edition). The same derivations are also given in Lower's "Patronymica Britannica." Surnames fall, roughly, into five separate classes of inception, by far the greatest class being that one known as baptismal surnames. Ely was originally spelled Elie, and was used as a fontal or Christen name. When, due to the growth in population and the resultant confusion from the repetitious use of identical fontal names, a second or distinguishing nomenclature became imperative, many assumed their father's given name as a surname. Hence, Robert, son of William, became Robert fil. William (fil being a contraction of the Latin filius, and meaning simply "son of"), the fil being dropped in the course of time and the name becoming Robert William's (possessive case meaning William's son Robert), and finally, Robert Williams. Hundreds of present-day surnames came about in this way. John, fil Elie, of County Lincoln, is mentioned in the Placita de Quo Warranto (temp. Edward I); and Reginald fil Elye, of County Lincoln and Gilbert Elye, of County Kent, both appear in the Hundred Rolls (1273, A. D.). The second derivation of this ancient surname falls into the class known as local surnames, that is, a man taking the name of the section in which he lived for purposes of differentiation. Ely is the name of the capital of the Fen district, and in the year 1227 Nicholas de Ely (the de being a French prefix meaning simply "of," and showing the French influence following the Norman Conquest of Saxon England in the year 1066 A. D.), was bailiff of Norwich. At a later date Alan de Ely was rector of Blickling, County Norfolk, and in the Hundred Rolls of that shire in the year 12,3, A. D., are found the names of Michael and John de Ely. of these two distinct derivations, the first is the one applicable to the family herein considered, for the reason that the largest branches of the Ely family in England were seated in counties Lincoln and Kent, and it is from Tenterden, in County Kent, that the progenitor of the family in the New World is traditionally believed to have come. The surname Ely, unlike the vast majority of English surnames, has undergone comparatively few orthographic changes, the ancient English archives furnishing us examples of but the following few forms: Elie, Elye, Eley, Eeley (very rare), and finally, Ely-the present and accepted spelling. Nathaniel Ely, the first to bear that ancient patronymic in America, set an example of civic service which his descendants have worthily upheld, and two of his lineal descendants-Henry Wilson Ely and his son, Joseph Buell Ely-have recognized this principle of life in their respective careers. Nathaniel Ely came from Old England to New England in the ship "Elizabeth" in the year 1634, settling first in what is now Cambridge, Massachusetts, then in Hartford, where his name is on the monument erected to the memory, of that town's pioneer settlers, and finally in Springfield, where he served as selectman for many terms.

Surnames: collier Submitted by: cliff Origin of Lie, Meaning of Lie Origin: The surname Dalgleish comes from a placename in the Southern Uplands of Scotland. The placename is in a P-Celtic language which is often described as Proto-Welsh or Cumbric. The language had been supplanted by Old English by AD 800 and was certainly dead in the region by the time the Viking Kingdom of York replaced the Saxon realms of Northumbria. The place-name is often translated as meaning "green field". What must be remembered, however, is that the period when it became necessary to have surnames - and thus when the people living there became identified by this place-name, was a long time after the language was dead. The fact that the place-name is at least 1,100 years old reveals nothing about those people who became known by the name. Never-the-less, the name was last recorded as a field name and there is no record of there ever being any substantial settlement there - so it is likely that whoever lived there were farmers or farm labourers and it is remarkable how quickly and how far the name has spread over the past four hundred years.
