ArchivesPls check these names
Could anyone give me any info on these names: PETRUS, ALFONSUS, ALFRITZ, and FAHMI (or FAHMY, i think it's Arabic ...)???
I also want to know where my last name, LAMBEY, comes from.

PETRUS - Latin form of Peter .
ALFONSUS - Alternate spelling of Alphonsus .
ALFRITZ - Possibly a combining form of Al and Fritz .
FAHMI - masculine Arabic name meaning "understanding".
LAMBEY - English surname literally meaning "lamb", derived from the nickname for a meek, inoffensive person. It could also denote someone who occupationally tended lambs and sheep. Or it could indicate that the person came from a house bearing the sign of a paschal lamb. Surnames taken from housesigns were more common in Germany, though, than in England.
