Släkthistoria för Pyrah
Pyrah Vad efternamn betyder
perhaps a variant of Perry via the alternative pronunciation /pɪri/ or its alternative northern form Peary alternatively spelled Piery with the common northern alteration of final -y to -er and -ah. If this is right Py(e)rah would originally be a spelling of /pɪrə/ or /pɪərə/ rather than /paɪrə/. Correlations of Py(e)rah with Perry include James Perry 1700 William Pyerah 1773 in IGI (New Malton NR Yorks); Robt. Pyrer 1723 Jane Perry 1747 in IGI (Deane by Bolton Lancs); James Perry 1723 Joseph Pyra 1790 in IGI (Calverley WR Yorks); Ellen Pyrer 1730 John Perry 1780 in IGI (Formby Lancs); and Richard Perry 1733 Bettey Pyrah 1748 in IGI (Batley WR Yorks). These correlations could alternatively be coincidental pairings of unrelated names in the same parish or town in which case the origin of Pyrah remains to be discovered.
