Re: Odd Given Name
in reply to a message by Aaron
I don't see how Reuel can turn into Rual (assuming Dutch prnounciation), but I have found that also Ruald exists as a Dutch name. This opens a connection with the name Roald which is explained on this site.

I forgot about this post. Guess I made a misunderstanding. I hadn't spent much time providing details, because I was tired when I posted. I'm an American, and my surname really didn't matter.I wanted to know if Rual was a different spelling of another name that I was unaware of, such as Ruel, which was uncommonly used as a male's name when my great-grandfather was born. This seems more likely than Reuel. Thanks for the help.
