Marolly surname origins?
« on: Saturday 27 February 21 18:17 GMT (UK) »
Evening all,
Hope you are all keeping well. Hoping someone can help me!
I hand draw family trees and normally include a little paragraph about the surname origin as an extra touch.
However I'm just finishing off my mother in law's family tree and cannot find any information on her maiden name, which is Marolly.
All I can find is Mallory... Which I don't think is related. My husband seems to think it could have been a 'made up' name, although he can't remember where he heard this.
Any clues anyone?
Thank you
Sarah

Sarah --- is this tree for an English family please?

If you simply input this surname into Ancestry and 'search all records' -- it initially comes up with results from abroad or America and Canada.

My only other thought is that it may have started out as Mallory - but been mistranscribed or mis-heard at some point in the past - and the 'new' version stuck.

(By the way - if I'm doing a family tree for someone I do the same as you and start it with 'Origins of Surname'. I usually obtain that from the Surname Database;)

Marolly isn't coming up on that.

They aren’t an English family no.. sorry I should I have stated that.
The family now reside mostly in Canada but are originally from India and Pakistan.

So sorry - I can't find any information on the origins of that surname either -- funnily enough - on the Family Search site -- there are several entries for people in Denmark with that name!

Worry not - now that I've said I can't find anything - someone will! That's what usually happens.

When I looked at the US census, I couldn't find Marolly. There were some named Marroli and Maroli, of Italian origin.

Thank you for the replies... just speaking to my father in law and he also says the Marolly name was an invented one. Although who invented it and when and why is still a mystery?
It is curious that no one can find any record of it’s origins so far.
