Meaning & origin(measured from records)

see Raffle . Further information: The locative derivations proposed by Wilson in Reaney and Wilson are unlikely. The French places called Ravel are well outside the Norman sphere of influence, and there is no evidence that Raveley (Hunts) was pronounced Ravel. John de Ravel, 1279 in Hundred Rolls (Hunts) is probably a scribal error for de Ravele, where final -e is an alternative spelling of -ey, as illustrated in Stephen de Ravele, 1290, Stephen de Raveley, 1295 in

About this data

measured from records inferred from the name graph machine-generated

These figures come from the data snapshot of and will change as it is rebuilt.

Statistics are aggregated from the Mondonomo name corpus; related names and etymology are inferred from the name graph; pronunciation and any machine-marked transliterations are model-generated. Read how the numbers are made, including their known failure modes, and where the data comes from.

Reference works we consult — surname dictionaries, official name registers, Wikidata and Wiktionary — are named directly, beside the claims they support. The per-country source counts also include datasets of person records: we publish how many there are and their authority tier, but not their names.
