Re: the name Stancel
the firstname (and also surname) Stancel is of English origin. Off course there is a Romanian surname Stancel, but this is not related, as Stancel is only used as a surname in Romania and totally not as a firstname. Moreover, there are websites with plausible explanations of this name, all concluding that it is from that English village and the information you got from this person might etymologically be true, but when it comes to the relation it is not, just a coincidence.

http://genforum.com/stancel/messages/11.htmli can't find the other website no more, but it doesn't matter, because i know the information it contained was less accurate than this one, so this one is better.
