Origin of the Forryan Name
The origin of the FORRYAN name is obscure and will probably never be fully understood. However there are two main though processes which have been defined below. One is the thoughts of W.G.Hoskins in his 'Leicestershire Yeoman Families and their Pedigrees' and the other are thoughts and research by Jean-Georges Forien de Rochesnard in his history of the FORIEN name. Please read both and make up your own minds.
At this stage of the research neither view can be proven. I will continue to search the records and perhaps one day we will understand our origins.
