Surnames: Gratrex, Gratrix, Greatorex, Greatrex Submitted by: Joseph Michael Greatorex Origin of Ore, Meaning of Ore Origin: The Barrys came from Wales with the Anglo-Norman invasions in 1170. 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: Jesmore, Jessmore Submitted by: Anne Jesmore Redman Origin of Ore, Meaning of Ore Origin: The surname DeForest is a corrupted form of the French family name more commonly spelled Delaforest. The name was derived from the place where someone lived or owned land. The name itself can be traced to an old French word "forest(e)" which has the same meaning as the English word of the same spelling. In French today this word is rendered "foret". Simply the word denotes "of or from the forest". This would have been a way to designate someone who dwelt in or near a forest. Before the establishment of a formal system of hereditary surnames it was a common practice for someone to take on a name of a nearby geographical feature, like a forest. The DeForest name could also have been taken by someone because of the work they did like being a forester or one who grew timber.
