Re: Anybody heard of Vincil?
in reply to a message by molly
Well, a little Googling shows that Vincil certainly is a surname in the United States. The earliest example I've found is a Lewis Vincil who was living in southwestern Virginia in the 1790s. It doesn't seem likely to be Welsh to me. If it is, it certainly has an Anglicized spelling, because the letter V is not used in the Welsh language.
